Wigan Warriors captain Liam Farrell has had enough of St Helens’ domination but realises it’s a real “challenge” to end it.
It’s hard for the Cherry and Whites to stomach that their fiercest rivals are seeking a record-extending fifth straight Betfred Super League title. But Matty Peet’s Wigan do look the most likely to finally end their remarkable run. The Challenge Cup holders finished second last term and had two of the competition’s most dangerous players in Jai Field and Bevan French only to be stunned by Leeds in the semi-finals.
England second-row Farrell, 32, has won four Grand Finals with Wigan. He has succeeded Tommy Leuluai as captain for 2023 and would love nothing more than getting back to tasting victory at Old Trafford. As a proud Wiganer, it’s painful seeing their huge derby rivals flying high.
