Tries: Eckersley, Field 2, Hodkinson 3, O’Neill Goals: Keighran 4, Farrimond

Noah Hodkinson scored a hat-trick as Wigan Warriors ended a four-match losing streak with a comfortable Super League win over struggling Bradford Bulls.
The 20-year-old winger added to two tries from Jai Field and others from Zach Eckersley and Brad O’Neill as Wigan dominated to remain in the play-off places.
Bradford have been badly hit by multiple injury problems, and had shipped 100 points in their previous two games, against Hull KR and Wakefield Trinity.
George Marsden, making his debut in the halves at the age of 17, was behind much of Wigan’s best work, while Zac Fulton and Ethan Ryan (2) replied for Bulls.
