It was Wakefield who broke the deadlock on 10 minutes when Joe Arundel crossed in the corner.

Jacob Miller touched-down to double the lead 10 minutes later and Finn converted to put the visitors 10-0 up.

The home side got off the mark when Mahe Fonua crossed and Marc Sneyd added the goal but Trinity ended the half with a Finn penalty that gave them a six-point lead at the break.

Sneyd bagged a self-converted try nine minutes into the second half to level matters and Gareth Ellis marked his farewell home appearance with a try 10 minutes from time.

Sneyd added the conversion and then kicked a drop goal three minutes later that proved decisive in withstanding Trinity’s late charge.
