2013 vs Huddersfield Giants Semi Final

Warrington 30-22 Huddersfield

In 2013 the Wolves faced Huddersfield as a result of the Club Call system. As Huddersfield lost in week one, it meant Warrington were the highest ranked side and therefore they got to pick their semi-final opposition. It was a surprise to many, but the Wire opted to face the League Leaders, Huddersfield which left Wigan to take on Leeds in the other semi-final.

Warrington got off to a great start with Joel Monaghan opening the scoring on the Wolves’ first set. However, the lead was short lived with Danny Brough and Jake Connor hitting back for the Giants. A second from Monaghan and Simon Grix just before half time put Warrington 40 minutes away from Old Trafford.

Ryan Atkins extended the lead to 14 in the second half and had Warrington virtually at the Grand Final. Jermaine McGillvary and Dale Ferguson hit back to make it a 2-point game in favour of the Wolves with only 10 minutes remaining.

Lee Briers’ kick was plucked by Grix who secured a place in the Grand Final with his second try of the evening.
