Super League: Wigan Warriors 44-18 Huddersfield Giants: Liam Farrell shines in comeback
When Huddersfield brought the game to the Warriors, the opening 40 minutes looked very different, dominating the midfield and looking like a team that lost its first three games.
They lost influential organizer Tui Lolohea before the kickoff, but that means 20-year-old Flanagan has a dynamic semi-back partnership with Adam Clune, and his debut this season after an injury.
The brilliant Clune played Swift with an acrobatic performance, and Hewitt made a great move at Flanagan when Farrell and Eckersley showed off two quick attempts at clinical Wigan, giving Huddersfield an eight-point lead in the halftime game.
When Wigan’s Tyler Dupree was knocked down, the game started with a restart, Farrell successfully challenged the captain’s challenge to the decision, while Wigan beat the other end to score through Farrell on Swift’s high-footed Harry Smith.
After that, England vaudevilled to gain control with masterclasses of kicking, passing, offense rest and defense.
Liam Marshall took Wigan ahead at the corner with trademark track and field, then Smith’s amazing 40-20 kick, and the French Tornado spins in France online despite the attention of three tacklers.
So far, Wigan has been irresistible, while both Harvie Hill and Leeming have tried to be excluded from video censorship as the giant struggles to cope with the whirlwind of offensive matches.
Field stole some of Smith’s attention by sending Jake Wardle against his old club, then threw a heinous dummy for the fifth Premier League attempt this season.
The Frenchman sent Leeming for a final attempt to give the Giants a first-half excellence, which gave Wigan a ominous warning to Wigan’s championship challenger.
