Wigan Warriors continued their rich vein of form with an impressive 48-10 win over Wakefield Trinity at the DIY Kitchens Stadium on Friday night.
The Warriors ran in nine tries against Wakefield, with Liam Farrell (2), Noah Hodkinson (4), Ollie Partington, Jake Wardle and Zach Eckersley all getting on the scoresheet for Matt Peet’s side. There were a number of impressive displays in West Yorkshire, so let’s get into the stats, shall we? Wigan Today has taken a deep dive into the numbers.
1. Jake Wardle
Wardle produced arguably his best performance of the season at Wakefield. He is one of Wigan's biggest strike threats with the ball in hand, scoring a try and producing an assist in West Yorkshire. The England international was a thorn in Wakefield's side all evening, busting seven tackles from 10 carries along with 18 tackles. Wardle is undoubtedly one of the premier centres in Super League. | Bernard Platt
2. Jai Field
Field was another Warrior to produce a season-best display on Friday night. The Australian speedster was certainly playing with a smile on his face, racking up 111 metres from 12 carries as well as registering five tackle busts and an assist. Field was at the heart of everything Wigan did in attack. A joy to watch. | Bernard Platt
3. Brad O'Neill
How many times has O'Neill featured in these standout performer pieces this season? The 23-year-old is enjoying a sensational campaign. O'Neill picked up Sky Sports' Player of the Match award and rightly so, having made 39 tackles - the most of any Wigan player, with eight of those tackles coming from marker position. | Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
4. Junior Nsemba
Nsemba had a wow of a game on Friday, with Trinity simply not being able to contain the towering back-rower. The 21-year-old chalked up 112 metres from 18 carries to go alongside 15 tackles. It was a mammoth performance from Nsemba, who also made two offloads and provided an assist. He's going really, really well this season. | Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
