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.
5. Sam Walters
Walters has shown his utility value time and time again for the Warriors. He played 80 minutes in the back-row against Hull, with Liam Farrell having shifted to left centre in the absence of the injured Jake Wardle. Walters was the Wigan player with the most tackles to his name (36), with eight of those coming from marker position. He also made 12 carries in what was a very strong performance.

6. Sam Eseh
Having made his Wigan debut in an 83-0 win over Rochdale Hornets in the Challenge Cup a fortnight ago, Eseh made his home debut for the Warriors in the win over Hull, with whom he enjoyed a successful loan spell last season. The 22-year-old's impact from the bench was evident, busting five tackles from 10 carries, as well as making 20 tackles. He even got on the scoresheet! He might be a bit disappointed with Harvie Hill's try for the visitors late on, but make no mistake about it, it was another positive outing in cherry and white for Eseh. Photo: Dean Williams
