Wigan Warriors secured a 30-18 victory over Warrington Wolves, with several young players scoring their first senior tries. Josh Cartwright, Taylor Kerr, Kian McDermott, and Austin Daniel all crossed the whitewash, contributing to a crucial win despite the absence of key players like Jai Field and Bevan French. The win keeps Wigan under pressure on Super League leaders Leeds Rhinos.

The match was a back-and-forth affair, with Warrington initially taking the lead through Albert Hopoate and Ewan Irwin. However, a yellow card for Warrington's James Bentley shifted the momentum, allowing Wigan to claw back into the game. The second half saw Wigan's young talent shine, with Kerr scoring early after the break, followed by tries from Zach Eckersley and McDermott. Daniel sealed the victory late on.

In another fixture, Bradford Bulls defeated Huddersfield Giants 30-14. Two tries from Waqa Blake were instrumental in the win, with Chris Atkin adding six goals. Bradford's victory lifts them to 10th in the Super League table, while Huddersfield remains at the bottom.
