Wigan Warriors Secure Super League Top-Two Finish with 62-6 Castleford Victory

News summary

Wigan Warriors secured a top-two finish in the Super League and earned a home semi-final with a dominant 62-6 victory over Castleford Tigers. The Warriors scored 11 tries, including two each from Jack Farrimond and Liam Marshall, as well as multiple tries from Abbas Miski and Jai Field, building a 34-0 lead by halftime. This emphatic win guarantees Wigan a week off during the initial play-off round, allowing them to prepare for the semi-finals at their home ground. Despite the win, their hopes of clinching the League Leaders' Shield depend on front-runners Hull KR, who will claim the shield if they avoid defeat in their upcoming match. The victory was a strong statement after earlier season struggles, with Wigan regaining momentum under coach Matt Peet to ensure their place among the top contenders. Castleford, struggling near the bottom of the table, managed only a single consolation try from Muizz Mustapha.
