Super League: Hull FC 12-36 Wigan Warriors – Bevan French and Junior Nsemba try doubles lift visitors to second

Wigan wasted no time in taking the lead as French capitalised on a communication breakdown in the Hull defence to race on to a loose ball and go to ground for his sixth Super League try of 2025.

Such was their fervour to maintain that early lead that no sooner did Pryce try to gain ground for the hosts on the wing, he was turfed in to touch by a crowd of opponents.

Undeterred, however, Pryce was influential both in the build-up and process of putting them ahead, racing through a gap to get his side in touching distance and then later latching on to a pass to dummy through for his first try since joining the club last month.

There was an error from the hosts straight from the restart, however, as Lewis Martin had a foot in touch when he received the kick and Wigan took full advantage of their field position in the aftermath as Field twisted his way into crossing over moments later.

Hull kept pace once again, this time as Aidan Sezer’s kick was met by Barron, but Nsemba ducked and dived his way to the line to send Wigan further ahead with a bit of style.

Wigan added some sheen to a classy first-half performance as Wardle strolled through with ease at the corner after Hull failed to pick him up.

After the break, Miski’s try was given by video referee Ben Thaler after it was judged he did not land over the line in the process of Hull’s attempt to thwart his audacious drive to the corner.

French’s lung-busting run from 80 metres put the visitors out of sight and brought up his tally to three tries against the Airlie Birds this season, having also scored in their 46-4 thrashing of their opponents back in February.

Nsemba’s late try helped Wigan see out the game in style and remain two points behind leaders Hull KR after nine games.
