The Warriors ran in six tries against the Black and Whites, with Sam Walters, Zach Eckersley, Sam Eseh, Jai Field (2) and Bevan French getting on the scoresheet for Matt Peet’s side. There were a number of impressive displays in the win, so let’s get into the stats, shall we? Wigan Today has taken a deep dive into the numbers.
1. Jai Field
The Australian speedster produced a Player of the Match display against Hull, having bagged a brace of tries. Field racked up a staggering 185 metres from 27 carries, busting eight tackles in the process and making two clean breaks. He has made an electric start to the campaign. Photo: Dean Williams
2. Harry Smith
Smith was at the heart of everything Wigan did with the ball and guided his side around the park perfectly, having made 18 kicks in general play and 13 attacking kicks. The England international also registered four tackle busts from 12 carries and made 12 tackles. Photo: Dean Williams
3. Junior Nsemba
Another blockbuster display on the edge from Nsemba, who caused plenty of damage and fatigue to Hull's defence with his powerful drives, registering five tackle busts from 13 carries. The 21-year-old also made 19 tackles. He has started the season in a rich vein of form and certainly seems to be benefiting from having a full pre-season. Photo: Dean Williams
4. Ethan Havard
Havard delivered a mammoth display in the middle unit in what was another workmanlike effort from the England international. He made 148 metres from 18 carries, including two tackle busts, as well as making 17 tackles on the defensive side of things. Havard could be in for a huge season if he manages to stay injury-free.
