Wigan Warriors Defeat Salford Red Devils in Crucial Super League Clash

Impressive Performance from Wigan Warriors

On Sunday, the Wigan Warriors delivered a ruthless display to defeat the Salford Red Devils 26-6 in a crucial Super League clash. Wigan’s efficient performance saw them complete at 100% in the first half, maintaining pace with their title-chasing rivals.

Controversy over Officials’ Decision

However, an incident in the opening half has left Salford boss Paul Rowley seeking answers from the officials. The two sides had previously met earlier this season, with Wigan narrowly edging that encounter.

“The referee had made an error, as the green card can only be administered at the request of a doctor or trainer, which was not the case.”

Wigan’s Dominant First-Half Display

In the latest outing, three first-half tries from Adam Keighran, Junior Nsemba and Brad O’Neil put the Warriors firmly in control. Salford’s Ollie Partington scored early in the second half, but Keighran’s kicking ensured the game remained a three-score affair before Bevan French’s late try sealed the victory for Wigan.

Implications for the League Table

Despite the defeat, Salford remain just two points behind sixth-placed Leeds Rhinos in the Super League table. Meanwhile, Wigan’s victory sees them climb back to the top of the league, level on points with St Helens and Warrington Wolves.
