Wigan Warriors have clinched their sixth League Leaders' Shield, delivering a commanding 50-12 victory over Catalans Dragons. The win secures top spot in the Betfred Super League as they head into the play-offs.
Matt Peet's side showcased their formidable form, running in nine tries against Les Dracs. This latest silverware follows their Challenge Cup triumph in May, putting them two games away from a potential treble after a trophyless 2025 campaign.
Key tries from Liam Marshall, Brad O'Neill, and Liam Farrell established Wigan's control, with Austin Daniel, Jai Field, Zach Eckersley, and Adam Keighran also crossing the whitewash. Marshall added a second try to seal their 16th consecutive win.
The Warriors' crucial win over title rivals Leeds Rhinos last week at Headingley had already put them in pole position. Their first-place finish grants them a bye week and a home Super League play-off semi-final on Saturday, 12 September, which will be broadcast live on the BBC.
For Catalans, the defeat concludes a challenging season, with the team finishing in ninth place and missing out on the end-of-season play-offs for the third consecutive year.
