Wigan edge Warrington in comeback

Wigan Warriors overturn a halftime deficit to beat Warrington 24-18 and stay in the race for the League Leaders Shield.

Wigan Clinches Comeback Victory Against Warrington

Warrington led 8-6 at half time after a tense opening. Wigan hit back after the break with a three-try burst to take control, and they ultimately won 24-18. Jake Thewlis scored a late consolation for Warrington as the Wire chased a comeback that never materialised.

Defeat dents Warrington's playoff hopes as they slip behind the playoff pack, while Wigan remain in the hunt for the League Leaders Shield with Hull KR just two points ahead, a gap that could widen if Rovers win on Saturday against Castleford.

The second half turnaround shows Wigan's willingness to adjust under pressure and punish mistakes. The change in momentum came from sharper execution and fewer errors, while Warrington's vulnerability to high balls and unforced errors proved costly.

This result keeps the title race open and adds pressure as the season moves toward its final rounds. For Warrington, it raises questions about consistency and depth; for Wigan, it proves they can win tight games when it matters.
