Super League: Hull FC 10-36 Wakefield Trinity – Trinity go fourth

Briscoe’s excellent finish seven minutes into the second-half put the hosts on the board, as the 36-year-old turned on the afterburners to sprint past Josh Rourke and dive over in the left corner.

Briscoe was at the heart of things again, blistering past Rourke once more, to find Litten on his inside to claim Hull’s second on the hour mark and after Aidan Sezer slotted the extras, the hosts threatened a fightback.

But those hopes were effectively extinguished when Jeremiah Mata’utia became the second Hull player to go into the bin for late contact, and Tevaga eventually made the extra man pay, crashing over from dummy half with six minutes remaining.

Nikotemo then added further gloss to the score with just seconds remaining, diving over from close range, while Jowitt completed a perfect night with the boot, adding his sixth conversion of the night.
