• Wigan 24-14 St Helens
• Field inspires as Wigan's surprise signing Wade watches

Wigan continued their recent dominance over St Helens to inflict more misery over their greatest rivals courtesy of a thrilling Good Friday triumph on the day they announced the surprise signing of the rugby union winger Christian Wade.

Rugby league's biggest derby has been dominated by the Warriors of late. The days of St Helens' four straight league titles between 2019 and 2022 feel like a long time ago now, with this Wigan's seventh win in the last eight meetings between the teams. Matt Peet's side were once again superior here, producing a measured and disciplined display in difficult conditions to defeat the Saints and move up to second in the table, two points shy of the early-season leaders, Hull KR.
