Wigan Warriors are positioning themselves as a formidable force in the race for the Betfred Super League title, according to Jon Wilkin.
Following an impressive 48-0 victory over Catalans Dragons, Wigan trails league leaders Hull KR by just two points, demonstrating their intent to reclaim the championship.
The Warriors, who are back-to-back defending champions, previously defeated Hull KR 9-2 in last season's Grand Final, igniting a fierce rivalry at the top of the table.
Wilkin noted, "Wigan are dripped in quality; it will annoy them I'd imagine the way Hull KR are being spoken about as a champion team, when Wigan have won everything." He emphasized the experience and pedigree of Wigan's roster, mentioning players like Bevan French and Jake Wardle, who are accustomed to winning trophies.
Furthermore, he referenced a podcast discussion where Mikey Lewis acknowledged, "Bevan French is better than him because he's been to big games and won big games," underscoring the competitive edge that Wigan possesses.
As the season progresses, Wigan's blend of skill and experience positions them as serious contenders to deny Hull KR another shot at Super League glory, further intensifying the battle for top honors in the league.
