The Warriors ran in four tries against the Knights, with Liam Marshall (2), Noah Hodkinson and Adam Keighran getting on the scoresheet for Matt Peet’s side. There were a number of impressive displays in WN5, so let’s get into the stats, shall we? Wigan Today has taken a deep dive into the numbers.
1. Adam Keighran
The Australian centre has been one of Wigan's standout performers in the first six weeks of action and delivered another big performance in the win over York, on both sides of the ball. Keighran made eight carries and 16 tackles, while scoring a try and kicking three goals. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
2. Noah Hodkinson
The 20-year-old only made his second appearance for Wigan's first-team, but he already looks the part. York targeted him with high kicks, but he was calm and composed and returned the kicks with tenacity. Hodkinson made 98 metres from 14 carries, as well as a clean break and two offloads. The homegrown talent scored his first Wigan try and provided a slick assist for one of Liam Marshall's tries. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
3. Junior Nsemba
Nsemba was a thorn in York's side all evening and made some crucial carries which got the Warriors on the front foot. The 21-year-old was strong on both sides of the ball, making 119 metres from 18 carries along with 23 tackles. He also registered seven tackle busts and four offloads. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
4. Ethan Havard
The England international has started the year in excellent form. Havard produced some staggering numbers in the win over York, with 114 metres made from 17 carries and 48 tackles. Huge numbers for a front-rower. Photo: Bernard Platt
