Noah Hodkinson continued his red-hot form with four tries as Wigan Warriors delivered a masterclass to thump Wakefield Trinity 48-10 and go fourth in the Super League table.
The 20-year-old winger made it nine tries in six games with a standout display for Matt Peet’s side on a night when everything went right.
In addition to Hodkinson’s dazzling finishing, Wigan were at their irresistible best all over the field with Jai Field, Brad O’Neill, Adam Keighran, Junior Nsemba and Jack Farrimond outstanding.
As well as Hodkinson’s second hat-trick of the season, there were tries for Ollie Partington, Jake Wardle and Zach Eckersley.
There was a 150th try in Wigan colours for Liam Farrell, who went over twice, and another 25-minute cameo for Bevan French as he continued to ease back from three months out injured.
