Wigan underline their class with Super League hammering of Wakefield

Wakefield 10-48 Wigan

Warriors dismantle hosts for sixth win in seven games

The Super League table rarely lies, and it certainly doesn’t usually have too many glaring abnormalities at the halfway point in a regular season. But a quick glance at the running order right now tells a slight mistruth; Wigan Warriors may not be top, but they are quite clearly the best side in the competition right now.

There is a four-point gap between Wigan and the two sides joint-top of the table, Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves. But you would surely not find too many arguments against Matt Peet’s side being some way ahead of that pairing at present after the Challenge Cup winners delivered yet another masterclass against one of their playoff rivals.
