​Wigan Warriors extended their perfect start to the Women’s Super League as they smashed Featherstone Rovers 70-10, delivering 12 tries and continuing their unblemished season. The home side dominated from the outset, with a standout performance that showcased their attacking depth and clinical finishing. Anna Davies claimed a hat-trick, while Eva Hunter added a brace. Remi Wilton, Georgia Wilson, Elara Llewellyn-Sharrock, Cerys Jones, Ellise Derbyshire, Beri Salihi and Grace Banks each crossed for a try apiece, contributing to a resounding rout. Dani Waters failed to be stopped for Featherstone, crossing the line and converting, while Shavon Craven added a late conversion. Wigan’s kicking game was relentless, as Isabel Rowe produced a stellar display with the boot, converting 11 of the 12 tries to seal the scoreboard dominance.
In other action, St Helens joined Wigan in reaching double figures in tries, cruising to a 58-6 victory over Leigh Leopards at the Brewdog Stadium and solidifying their second-place position. Phoebe Hook and Olivia Leach both crossed for three tries apiece, underscoring a highly productive afternoon for the Saints and highlighting the Leopards’ difficulties as they slipped further down the table to sixth. In addition to the hat-trick efforts from Hook and Leach, Jodie Cunningham, Dani McGifford, Vicky Whitfield and Paige Travis all crossed for tries, with Faye Gaskin contributing seven conversions from as many opportunities to help propel Saint Helens to a commanding win.
Leigh’s response included Lucy Johnson finding the try line, with Charlotte Melvin adding the extra two points, but the early onslaught by St Helens left the Leopards with little room to maneuver. The decisive first half made the difference, as the Saints built a substantial lead and then managed the game in the second period, maintaining their grip on third place in the table while continuing to threaten the league leaders with another high-profile result. The weekend’s set of fixtures underscored the strong form of Wigan and St Helens, who demonstrated why they’re among the frontrunners in this season’s Women’s Super League title race.
