The wet conditions in East Yorkshire contributed to a scrappy, error-strewn contest, with both sides struggling to hold onto the ball. Hull's discipline proved costly, as James Batchelor was sin-binned inside the opening minute for a tackle that forced Warrington's Arron Lindop out of the game through a failed head injury assessment, while Ligi Sao also spent ten minutes off the field for a high shot on Matty Ashton.

Tom Briscoe's final home appearance before retirement ended with the 233rd try of his career, though it was not enough to prevent Hull's 18th defeat in 25 league matches this season. Warrington's sixth straight win keeps them third in the table, two points behind leaders Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors, with a trip to fourth-placed Wakefield up next.
