Wakefield Trinity has surged to the top of Super League's Club Grading rankings following their historic Grand Final triumph. The West Yorkshire club scored 17.85 out of 20, the highest mark in 2026 and joint-highest ever, earning bonus points for their Grand Final victory. The ranking, now optional from 2026, reflects clubs that chose to participate rather than ranking all Super League and Championship teams.
Trinity's +2.38 year-on-year improvement secured them Grade A status alongside eight other clubs. The grading model assesses Fandom, Finance, Stadium, Community and On-Field Performance. Wakefield's remarkable journey included Championship promotion in 2024 and Play-Offs appearance in 2025, culminating in ending a 58-year title drought.
Leeds Rhinos (17.03) are second, Warrington Wolves (16.72) third, and Wigan Warriors (16.46) fourth.
