Wakefield almost completed a remarkable comeback against Warrington, but an impressive first half showing by the Wolves proved just enough in a Thursday night thriller.

They may have lost on the pitch, but off the pitch Wakefield had a good day as it was confirmed they have regained ownership of their Belle Vue home.

In the latest Love Rugby League Weekly, we debate the Ottawa bid, how reserves could fit in to League One and much more. Make sure you join us at 12noon every Thursday.
