Wigan Warriors defeat Hull KR 46-0 to reclaim Super League lead
Wigan Warriors reclaimed the top spot in the Betfred Super League following a dominant 46-0 victory over Hull KR at The Brick Community Stadium. The match was marked by an emotional tribute to rugby league legend Sir Billy Boston, who passed away at the age of 92. The club honored his memory by leaving his and his late wife Joan's usual seats decorated with flowers, a tradition that will continue on match days.
On the field, Liam Marshall scored a hat-trick, while Jai Field was named player of the match after a standout performance. Other scorers for Wigan included Adam Keighran, Zach Eckersley, and Jake Wardle. The victory extends Wigan's winning streak to 13 matches.
Hull KR, playing with an under-strength side, struggled to respond despite the heavy rain and difficult pitch conditions. The loss marks the first time the team has been held to zero points during the Willie Peters era.
