On a dramatic Saturday in the Super League, Wigan Warriors fell behind in the title race after a surprising 32-12 loss to Hull FC, while Hull KR solidified their lead by defeating Catalans Dragons 34-6, moving four points clear at the top.
According to reports from skysports.com, Aidan Sezer showcased a tactical masterclass, enabling Hull to dominate various aspects of the game at the Brick Community Stadium.
The Warriors faced their third defeat in five matches.
Jed Cartwright shone with two first-half tries, and the Black and Whites executed a highly effective game plan, consistently targeting Wigan's former rugby union player Christian Wade with high kicks.
Although Wade demonstrated his skills by scoring Wigan's first try in the second half, it was far too late to change the outcome for the hosts, who also suffered injuries to Zach Eckersley and Jai Field.
Hull established a commanding 20-point lead by halftime despite intense pressure in the first 20 minutes, during which they struggled to exit their own half.
Wigan could have taken the lead early on, but an error by Eckersley on a scoring opportunity hindered their momentum.
Meanwhile, Hull capitalized on Wigan's mistakes, leading to a dramatic turnaround as they both survived and thrived against the odds.
