Love Rugby League was present at the Salford Community Stadium to witness Wigan’s dominant display. Jai Field showcased his speed and defensive prowess, while Abbas Miski and Adam Keighran also made significant contributions, with Keighran scoring the opening try and kicking four goals from four attempts.
“Liam Marshall was in superb form, producing a memorable hit on Salford’s Chris Hankinson in the second half.”
