In one of the oldest rivals in rugby league, the two teams played each other at Elland Road, where the crowd was on fire. Before the game, both sides knew that they needed to win to keep their title hopes alive, but Wigan got ahead early on. The Warriors scored first with a well-executed try by Liam Marshall. This set the tone for a tough performance by the guests. Jack Farrimond, a young halfback, scored after Marshall’s try and showed calm beyond his years to make Wigan’s lead bigger.
Wigan Warriors celebrate a hard-fought victory over St Helens, reclaiming the top spot in the Super League.
Wanting to stay in the game, St. Helens fought back with their own try, but Wigan’s defence stayed strong. As St. Helens tried to come back from behind, the game got tougher, but Wigan’s discipline and technical know-how kept their opponents at bay. What made the difference was when Sam Walters ran over the line for Wigan’s third try. That put St Helens out of the game. Keighran’s perfect kicking and Walters’ try made sure that Wigan would leave Elland Road with the win.
Adam Keighran’s work with the boot was very important to Wigan’s success. Not only did his four goals add important points to the score, but they also kept St. Helens under pressure the whole game.

The Warriors’ superb play at crucial times was too much for their opponents, who were unable to get back into the game.
