Harry Smith scored a dramatic late try to secure Wigan Warriors a 20-16 victory over Hull FC at the MKM Stadium. The Warriors trailed for much of the match but Adam Keighran's try and a penalty brought them level before Smith broke through tired defense with seven minutes remaining. Hull had led 10-4 at halftime and deserved more from a performance that rebounded strongly from their previous defeat.

St Helens produced a commanding 40-16 win over Bradford Bulls, overcoming an early deficit to score six tries. Jacob Douglas and Curtis Sironen put them ahead by the break, with the Saints maintaining pressure throughout. The match ended on a concerning note as Bradford's Will Gardiner was stretchered off with a serious injury.

Josh Charnley starred for Leigh in their 40-16 triumph over Toulouse, crossing four times including a first-half hat-trick. His 20th try of the season came before halftime as Leigh built an 18-0 advantage. Liam Horne added another late try as the Leopards moved within two points of the playoff spots.

Wigan and St Helens sit third and fourth respectively on 22 points each, with the Warriors holding the edge on points difference. These results keep both clubs firmly in contention for playoff positions with crucial matches ahead.
