The Wigan Warriors have officially named their 21-man squad for an eagerly anticipated matchup against Salford on Thursday at the Brick Community Stadium. Head coach Matt Peet has opted for an unchanged lineup, signaling the team’s confidence as they aim to secure back-to-back League Leaders’ Shields for the first time in club history.
A Historic Opportunity
With just one point needed to clinch the prestigious title, the stakes couldn’t be higher for the Warriors. This season has been a rollercoaster ride, but Wigan is poised to finish strong, having dominated their last encounter against the Leeds Rhinos with a resounding 38-0 victory. The team is looking to capitalize on their momentum and solidify their standing at the top of the Super League.
