Warrington close to within two points of Super League leaders after sixth straight win

Warrington Wolves edged Hull FC 16-14 on 29 August 2026 for their sixth successive Super League win. Tries from Hayes, Ashton and Thewlis, plus two Williams goals, moved third-placed Warrington within two points of joint leaders Leeds and Wigan. Hull's Tom Briscoe scored in his final home appearance before retirement, but two sin-bins — Sao and Batchelor — hindered a late fightback.
