Warrington Wolves secured a significant 23-6 victory over Wigan Warriors in Round Nine of the Super League at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, with Josh Thewlis and Albert Hopoate scoring key tries. The win comes as Warrington navigated the absence of captain George Williams, who is sidelined with a long-term neck injury, and other notable players. Wigan, meanwhile, struggled with their own set of injuries and suspensions, including the loss of winger Liam Marshall to a hamstring injury early in the match.
The defeat marks Wigan's fourth consecutive Super League loss, a record under coach Matt Peet. Warrington, on the other hand, moves two points off the top spot with a game in hand, showcasing their resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
