Wigan ended Warrington’s winning start in the Betfred Super League as they held on for a hard-fought 13-6 victory at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday.
Wigan Warriors emerged through a typically full-blooded Good Friday derby with St Helens in front of a packed DW Stadium to move up to second in the Super League table.
Wigan’s influential duo Jai Field and Bevan French were at their scintillating best as they guided the Warriors to a well-earned derby victory over Leigh. Field and French have so often provided moments of magic during their time at the club and this proved to be another of those nights.
It has been over 1,000 days since the Super League trophy resided anywhere other than St Helens but on nights like these, it feels like for the first time in four seasons, the all-conquering reign of the back-to-back-to-back champions could be under threat. Make no mistake, absorbing derbies and the results that accompany them like this one can skew our focus and while this was a setback for the Saints, they are still the favourites to lift the title at Old Trafford in a month’s time.
Bevan French scored his fourth Super League hat-trick of the season as Wigan claimed a 52-6 win over Toulouse at the DW Stadium to further strengthen their second spot in the table.
Wigan head coach Matt Peet has provided the latest on hooker Sam Powell following his injury sustained against Hull KR.
Liam Farrell has paid Bevan French the ultimate tribute by hailing him as the most special talent he has ever played with at Wigan Warriors. The Aussie winger soared to the top of the Super League scoring charts with an amazing seven-try haul in last Friday’s 60-0 home win over Hull FC.
Jake Connor could be in line for a shock return to action when Hull FC face Castleford Tigers this Friday. Hull Live understands the fullback is ahead of his scheduled return and could possibly feature in the 21-man squad ahead of the pivotal play-off clash at the MKM Stadium.
