Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I eke a Joe Burgess ki tana kapa tuatahi i te Super League i te wa i wikitoria ai a Wigan i tana wikitoria tuatahi o te waa, engari i kaha te mahi a Wakefield i roto i te tukinga hapa i te Rapid Solicitors Stadium. Ko Burgess, e hono atu ana ki Sydney Roosters i te mutunga o te tau, e toru nga whakamatautau e whitu o nga Warriors i te wikitoria 40-22 - ko ta raatau angitu tuatahi i te Super League i West Yorkshire mo nga marama 18 - hei awhina i tana taha ki te piki ake i runga ake o St Helens ki te tuarua o te teepu, mo te 24 haora. Ko te wikitoria tuatoru o ngā kaitākaro a Shaun Wane, ā, ko te wikitoria tuarima o ā rātou tukinga e ono whakamutunga, engari e kore e harikoa te kaiako uaua ki te whakamana i ā rātou mahi, ā, ka kino ake tōna āhua i te whara o te whara o te whara o te whara o Anthony Gelling. He pai te āhua o Joe Burgess (māui) mō Wigan me tana tūranga tuatahi i te Super League. Koia te wikitōria tuaiwa o te kapa Wildcats, e noho tonu ana ki raro o te tēpu, engari he whakapainga nui i runga i to ratou wikitōria 80-0 e Warrington i roto i to ratou kēmu riiki o mua. Ahakoa kaore ano kia whitu nga kaitakaro matua na te wharanga, i tiimata a Wakefield ki a Widnes, a Ben Kavanagh, he tiimata tuatahi ki te taiohi a Jordan Crowther me te haerenga tuatahi o te Super League mo te kaitautoko o Leeds a Ian Kirke. Na ka kino ake o rātau raruraru i te wa i whati ai te maihao o Kirke, ā, ka whara te whekau o Danny Washbrook i te whekau o te kaiako a James Webster, ka waiho i a ia te manaakitanga o tana waimarie. Heoi, i tiimata te timatanga pai rawa atu o nga Wildcats, me te pokapū o Matt Ryan i pakaru mai i tana haurua ki te hanga i tetahi whakamatautau mo te kaitautoko Craig Hall, nana nei i peke te tuatahi o ana whainga e toru. Heoi, ko te ahua o Wigan kua kaha ki te whakahaere, i te wa i tangohia ai e te prop Dom Crosby te tuku a Michael McIlorum ki te hinga mo tana whakamatautau tuatahi mo te neke atu i te rua tau me te haurua o te haurua a Matty Smith i peke i te tiaki Wildcats mo te kaute takitahi. Ko nga kaikawe rererangi a Burgess raua ko Dom Manfredi i whakaputa i nga whakaotinga haumanu hei taarua i nga whakamatau a nga Warriors i mua o te haurua engari kaore nga Yorkshiremen pakari i takoto i te wa i whakatuwherahia ai te keemu...
I whakaū a Wigan i tā rātou wikitoria tuatahi i te wā o te Pirimia Pirimia. E toru ngā piro a Joe Burgess i te whitu o ngā Warriors. Ka eke a Wigan ki runga ake o St Helens ki te tūranga tuarua, mō te 24 haora.
