GEORGE Williams marked his Warrington Wolves debut by kicking the last-minute winning drop goal.
The Wire, trailing 18-12 at the break, got themselves in the lead for the first time when Josh Charnley's converted second-half try was enhanced by Stefan Ratchford's 60th-minute penalty.
Rhys Martin replied in kind and then Harry Newman scooted clear to give Leeds a six-point cushion with nine minutes remaining.

But Danny Walker, with fresh legs, scurried over from dummy half with four minutes remaining with Ratchford levelling things up.
Leeds messed up their own drop-goal attempt but Chris Hill's rampaging drive set up Williams perfectly for the winning points.
