Wigan Warriors Continue to Dominate Super League with Impressive 100% Record
The Wigan Warriors have shown no signs of slowing down in the Super League, maintaining a perfect 100% record over the last five rounds. The team’s impressive performance has left them four points clear at the top of the ladder, with a significant advantage over their closest competitors.
The Warriors’ recent successes include victories against the Warrington Wolves and St. Helens, with the latter being a notable 16-12 win at The Brick Community Stadium in Round 17. This streak has cemented Wigan’s position as the team to beat in the Super League, with their closest challengers struggling to keep pace.
Meanwhile, St. Helens have experienced a slump in form, losing three of their last five games, including a 20-18 defeat to Salford Red Devils and a 6-8 loss to Castleford Tigers. This downturn has seen them drop to seventh in the Super League table, a significant fall from grace for the once-dominant team.
The Warriors’ impressive form has been matched by Salford Red Devils and Hull KR, who have both won four of their last five Super League outings. These teams are now in a heated battle for the play-off spots, with the end of the regular season fast approaching.
On the other end of the spectrum, the London Broncos have failed to secure any competition points in their last five games, losing 16 of their 17 league matches since their promotion from the Championship. Their defeats have included a 52-6 thrashing by St. Helens at Twickenham Stoop and a 36-0 loss to Wigan.
The recent struggles of some teams in the Super League have led to changes in coaching staff. Leeds Rhinos parted ways with Rohan Smith, replacing him with Brad Arthur on an interim basis. Huddersfield Giants also dismissed Ian Watson, with the search for his successor still ongoing.
Below is the Super League form table over the last five rounds, showcasing the results that have contributed to each team’s placing:
