Wigan Warriors Retain League Leaders' Shield

Wigan Warriors secured their second consecutive League Leaders’ Shield with a dominant 64-0 victory over the understrength Salford Red Devils, marking the first time in club history they have retained the title.

The match featured standout performances from Liam Marshall, who scored twice, and a hat-trick from Jai Field, contributing to a total of 11 tries from the Warriors. Salford rested their first-choice players ahead of their playoff match, fielding eight debutants, which significantly impacted their performance. The Warriors finished the regular season with an impressive record of 22 wins from 27 games and aim to capture the remaining trophies in the playoffs. Salford will learn their playoff fixture after the outcome of an upcoming game between Leigh and St Helens.
