Wigan celebrate a try as they claimed the League Leaders’ Shield with a win over Salford
A hat-trick from Jai Field helped Wigan Warriors retain the League Leaders’ Shield with a 64-0 rout of an understrength Salford Red Devils in their final game of the Betfred Super League regular season.
The hosts, already guaranteed a place in the play-off semi-finals, were well on their way to securing the Shield by half-time, leading 28-0 on the back of tries from Liam Marshall, Field, Bevan French, Zach Eckersley and Jake Wardle.
Full-back Field went on to complete his hat-trick after the break, with Marshall and French adding a second apiece and Kruise Leeming crossing twice against a spirited Salford team who featured eight debutants as head coach Paul Rowley rested players ahead of next week’s elimination play-off.
