The Wigan Warriors secured a 20-16 comeback victory over Hull FC in the Betfred Super League on Saturday. In other fixtures across the league, St Helens cruised to a 40-10 away victory against the Bradford Bulls at The Provident Stadium, while the Leigh Leopards defeated Toulouse Olympique 40-16.
Hull FC controlled the first half at the MKM Stadium, taking a 10-4 lead into the break. Adam Keighran hauled Wigan level in the second half before Harry Smith jinked through a tiring defense to score the match-winning try with just seven minutes remaining on the clock.
The Warriors suffered a blow early in the contest when Luke Thompson was forced off with an injury 15 minutes into the game. Elsewhere, the Bradford Bulls faced a major concern as Will Gardiner was stretchered off the field with an apparent issue, according to Sky Sports.
In France, Leigh Leopards winger Josh Charnley scored four tries against Toulouse at the Stade Ernest-Wallon in sweltering conditions, officially recording the 25th hat-trick of his career. The weekend’s results leave both the Wigan Warriors and St Helens deadlocked on 22 points, sitting in third and fourth place respectively, while Leigh moves to within two points of the play-off places.
