On September 5th, Wigan warriors are looking like they're on track for another big year, possibly another treble. They just took down their closest rivals, the Leeds Rhinos, pretty convincingly, 50-12, right there at headingly. Wigan already locked up the league leader's shield and the challenge cup, so they're stacking wins. Leeds had a bit of hope after a close game last week, where they almost came back, but Wigan shut that down fast. They scored three tries in the first 11 minutes. Megan Williams, Ruby Hunter, and Mary Coleman all got over the line early, with Isabel Roe kicking the conversions. Williams scored again, and Anna Davies ran almost the whole field for another try. Ava Hunter, who's the top scorer and super league, also added to her tally, it was a dominant performance from Wigan, showing why they're favorites. Meanwhile, over at Featherstone Rovers, Tilly Chirm had a big day, scoring three tries in the 34-6 victory against Barrel Raiders. This win keeps Featherstone in a good spot. Barrel Raiders are in a tough spot now, facing potential relegation playoffs.

They're hoping for some help from other teams to avoid that fate.
