Betfred Super League
Warrington Wolves (6) 16
Tries: Lindop, Ratchford, Thewlis Goals: Sneyd 2
Leeds Rhinos (10) 14
Tries: McDonnell, Lumb, Hall Goal: Connor
Warrington Wolves produced a second-half fightback to beat Leeds Rhinos in the 5,000th game to be played in Super League.
After Arron Lindop had put the hosts in front with a fine individual try, Leeds crossed three times without reply either side of half-time.
Tries from James McDonnell, Riley Lumb and Ryan Hall gave the Rhinos a 14-6 advantage midway through the second period.
But Stefan Ratchford's converted score took Warrington back within two points and, with Leeds' Keenan Palasia in the sin-bin late on, Jake Thewlis dived over in the corner to secure a fourth win in six league outings for the Wire in 2025.
That victory, coupled with Leigh's loss at home to Wakefield, lifted Sam Burgess' side up to third in the table.
Without several injured backs, a rejigged Wire team made the perfect start when teenage winger Lindop carried the ball from inside his own half, chipped a kick behind Leeds' backline and raced onto it himself to touch down.
Ash Handley's fine offload to Lumb set up Leeds' swift response, although the final pass of the move made by Jake Connor to McDonnell appeared to go forward.
However, there was no doubt about the validity nor the quality of Connor's pass to send Lumb over for his fifth Super League try of the season.
The competition's all-time leading try-scorer Hall, who made his 500th career appearance in the win over champions Wigan last weekend, acrobatically finished his 257th Super League score to extend the visitors' advantage to eight points.
Connor hit the crossbar with his conversion attempt from the touchline, keeping Warrington's deficit in single figures.
Experienced centre Ratchford wriggled his way over the try-line from close range to reduce that gap to two points.
Palasia's yellow card for a high tackle meant Leeds would play the final seven minutes with 12 men and Warrington pounced almost immediately through Thewlis for the winning score.
Warrington: Dufty; Thewlis, Ratchford, Currie, Lindop; Williams, Sneyd; Musgrove, Walker, Vaughan, Holroyd, Fitzgibbon, Harrison.
Interchanges: Yates, Powell, Philbin, Wood.
Leeds: Miller; Lumb, Newman, Handley, Hall; Croft, Connor; Oledzki, O'Connor, Jenkins, Bentley, McDonnell, Palasia.
Interchanges: Lisone, Gannon, Holroyd, Sinfield.
Referee: Tom Grant.
