IT’S one of the least likely Grand Finals as Warrington Wolves battle with Wakefield Trinity with a new name guaranteed on the Super League trophy.

Expert predictions have already been confounded, but we’ll stick our necks on the line one more time anyway.

Here the team behind the Grand Final coverage on Total Rugby League, and in the League Express newspaper and Rugby League World magazine, give how they think they game may go.

Martyn Sadler:

The word ‘if’ is perhaps the most significant word in the English language.

If Wakefield play as well as they did against Wigan, I think they’ll win.

If George Williams is able to go out with a bang in his last game for Warrington, then they may win.

If Jazz Tevaga can avoid being sinbinned, then Wakefield’s chances will be increased.

If Ewan Irwin isn’t overawed by the big stage at Old Trafford, he could help George Williams lead his side to victory.

If both sides can keep 13 players on the field for 80 minutes, both will enhance their chances of winning.

And if I could predict the winner with complete certainty I would be a genius, which I’m not.

So I’m predicting a draw after 80 minutes and if it goes into golden point I admit that I have no idea who will win.

Stephen Ibbetson:

I expect the Wakefield pack to get on top, but Warrington are so resilient in defence that it ought to stay within a score deep into the game.

So there’s a very good chance it will come down to a handful of clutch moments and who can take theirs.

I’ll lean just slighly from the fence towards Wakefield, but whoever gets it this will be a final to remember.

Callum Walker:

It almost seems fate for Daryl Powell to be facing the side that gave him the axe a number of years ago in the Grand Final.

In just three years, Powell has built Wakefield from second-division dwellers to silverware hunters but this weekend’s clash could prove a step too far.

Trinity were immaculate against Wigan in the semi-final and the fear is they could have peaked too early. Warrington, on the other hand, ground out an impressively gritty win over Leeds.

The Wolves have quietly gone about their business in 2026, but Sam Burgess’ men will announce themselves at Old Trafford, winning by six.

Lorraine Marsden:

I am really not sure how to call this one, but one thing I know for sure is that I have not been looking forward to a final as much in years.

My head is saying Warrington, my heart is saying Wakefield, so let’s go out on a limb and say we’ll see the first Grand Final ever to be level after 80 minutes and go to golden point.

Then up steps Jack Sinfield, in front of his dad whose boots have won many a Grand Final, to seal it and cap a quite remarkable story for Wakefield, Daryl Powell and Matt Ellis.

Marc Bazeley:

Warrington Wolves against Wakefield Trinity. It’s Always Your Year versus It’s Never Your Year. Either way, by 8pm on Saturday it’ll be someone’s year a new name on the Super League trophy.

And how’s this for a highly-scientific analysis? Wakefield have won eight of the last 10 meetings of these two. Warrington have the edge according to the bookies, but do you believe in miracles? Well, kind of.

So let’s say Wakefield by eight and Jack Sinfield to win the Rob Burrow award – and remember my guarantee: All predictions wrong or your money back.
