The match was abandoned after 73 minutes of play after one of the stands at the Wish Communications Stadium was evacuated following safety concerns over a suspected fire in one of the floodlights.

The RFL Board convened on Saturday and decided that the game should be awarded to Wakefield. Both clubs have supported that decision.
