Wakefield Trinity secured their first victory of the 2026 Betfred Super League season with an 18-16 win over Huddersfield Giants at the Accu Stadium. The visitors built a 14-point lead by the 65th minute, but two late converted tries from George Flanagan Jr kept the game in balance until the final whistle.

Wakefield opened scoring in the 13th minute through Cam Scott, with Lachlan Walmsley adding two tries before Seth Nikotemo's 63rd-minute score extended their advantage. Huddersfield responded through Sam Halsall and Flanagan's late heroics, but Trinity held firm for the narrow win. The result condemns Huddersfield to their second straight defeat.
