Highlights of the Super League game between Wigan Warriors and Bradford Bulls.

Stand-off George Marsden made his debut and got himself involved early with a tackle that proved the catalyst for the hosts’ opening try.

Wigan opened the scoring four minutes in through the diving Zach Eckersley before Jai Field crossed the whitewash in the 12th minute after collecting a pass from Adam Keighran, who added the extras.

It was 14-0 in favour of the hosts after Hodkinson crossed for his first try, and Wigan took a 20-point lead after Keighran converted Field’s second of the afternoon.

Zac Fulton finally got Bradford on the board in the 33rd minute after a Video Ref review held up his try, converted by Chris Atkin, but Brad O’Neill restored the hosts’ 20-point lead before the break, Keighran again adding the extras.

Neither side could make a difference to the scoreline until Hodkinson dotted down in the 53rd minute, and it was 32-6 with Keighran’s conversion.

Keighran then came off for Warriors debutant Josh Cartwright, and Ethan Ryan drew Bulls closer with a 67th-minute try to make it 32-10.

Wigan were not done, however, and Hodkinson completed his hat-trick in the 75th minute, converting the third try himself, before Ryan added a consolation three minutes later.
