Liam Marshall completes Wigan's first-half turnaround

Wigan Warriors kept their top-two ambitions alive as an 18-4 comeback win at arch-rivals St Helens in Rivals Round tightened their grip on home advantage in the Super League play-offs.

With just three rounds of the regular season remaining, defending champions Wigan could ill afford a slip-up against their fierce rivals, for whom victory was nothing short of essential to keep play-off hopes alive.

The hosts made the brighter start and deservedly went ahead inside six minutes through Deon Cross, with Wigan struggling to find a foothold until the half-hour mark.

But when the response came, it was the response of champions. Jake Wardle and Liam Marshall crossed within four minutes to flip the momentum and put the visitors in control before the break.

The killer blow came in the second half when Bevan French’s sharp offload released Jai Field, who streaked the length of the field for a stunning third try to extinguish Saints’ four-game winning streak and dent their play-off hopes.

The victory sees Wigan consolidate second place in the Super League table behind leaders Hull KR, while St Helens remain in fifth, two points outside the top four.
