Wigan charge stops Rhinos going top
13 January 2007
The Warriors produced a Herculean defensive effort to keep their tryline intact and mastered difficult conditions to successfully follow up their surprise win over Bradford with a fourth successive victory over the Rhinos.
Coach Brian Noble sprung a surprise by switching the returning Pat Richards to full-back in place of rugby union-bound Chris Ashton, with Liam Colbon keeping his place on the wing, but the move paid off, with the pair contributing all but four of Wigan's points.
The four points gained over the last eight days will be crucial if, as expected, Wigan are docked points when they face a charge of breaching the salary cap.
That will be the last thing on the mind of Noble after his side outplayed the Yorkshiremen to gain their third win of the season over them.
