Wigan Warriors 44–18 Huddersfield Giants in Super League Round 4 at The Brick Community Stadium. Here's how the result stacked up against the model's call, with the win-probability story and where the value landed.

Huddersfield Giants led 18-10 at the break and, for half an hour, looked like the team playing above its rating. Then Wigan Warriors reeled off 34 unanswered points after the interval and turned a genuine contest into a 44-18 rout at The Brick Community Stadium.

The damage in that first half was real. Adam Swift crossed inside four minutes and Liam Sutcliffe's conversion made it 6-0 before Wigan had settled. Liam Farrell hit back in the 11th minute and Adam Keighran's conversion levelled it at 6-6. Zach Eckersley's try on 28 minutes put Wigan 10-6 up, but Huddersfield answered twice in six minutes through Sam Hewitt and George Flanagan, with both conversions landing to send the Giants in at 18-10.

Whatever changed at the break, it worked. Farrell's second try, two minutes after the restart, cut the deficit to two points, and Keighran's conversion made it 16-18. Liam Marshall's try on 49 minutes put Wigan in front for good at 20-18, and from there Huddersfield didn't score again. Bevan French crossed on 60 minutes, Jake Wardle on 73, Jai Field on 76 and Kruise Leeming on 78, with Keighran converting every one, as Wigan pulled away to a final margin that had nothing to do with the contest at half-time.

The stat sheet backs up what the eye saw in that final half hour. Wigan broke the line nine times to four and racked up 35 tackle busts to Huddersfield's 25, the kind of gap that turns into points once a side stops handing back cheap ball. Wigan were also the tidier outfit with possession, coughing up five errors to Huddersfield's six. Huddersfield actually offloaded more often, 12 times to 8, which explains why they were competitive for as long as they were, but it wasn't enough once Wigan found their line breaks. Neither side gave away a single penalty all match, so this wasn't a game settled by ill discipline. It was settled by who could finish.
