Overview
- Wigan Warriors came from behind to win 20-16 after Harry Smith jinked through Hull’s defence seven minutes from time to secure the decisive try.
- Adam Keighran hauled Wigan level with a converted try and a penalty before Smith’s score, setting up a late turnaround in a tight finish.
- Hull led for more than 71 minutes through tries from Lewis Martin, Harvey Barron and Jed Cartwright but repeatedly failed to add the points needed to put the game beyond reach.
- Hull endured three first-half head injury assessments for Hugo Salabio, Joe Batchelor and Harvey Barron, with Barron failing his HIA and ruled out for next week, while James Bell was named in the squad but not risked.
- Match officials were Liam Moore (referee) and Tom Grant (video ref), attendance was 12,272, and a late scoreboard/timekeeping glitch added confusion as Hull pushed for a final chance.
