George Williams Aims to Change Warrington History in Grand Final

Sky Sports Champions League •

Warrington Wolves captain George Williams is determined to leave the club with a trophy in his final game before returning to Australia. After rejoining Super League from the NRL in 2021 and choosing Warrington over his hometown club Wigan, Williams has one last chance to secure the club's maiden Grand Final triumph at Old Trafford on Saturday October 3. A win would make Warrington just the sixth team to lift the Super League trophy.

Williams, who previously won a title with Wigan, told Sky Sports that he came to Warrington to "change history" and views the final as a fitting exit. Warrington, who finished third, face fourth-placed Wakefield Trinity after both upset the top two seeds. Wakefield stunned Wigan 33-6 in their semi-final, while Warrington edged Leeds Rhinos 14-12 via a controversial penalty.

Williams acknowledges Wakefield's potent attack, noting they beat Warrington weeks ago. "We know what they're capable of," he said. Both teams have been "consistent" all year, and Williams believes 80 minutes stand between Warrington and history. The match kicks off at 6pm, live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports+.
