Now out of the Challenge Cup, Wigan were left with the old adage of "concentrating on the league". They were in a decent position within the top four but any defeats can be very costly. Wigan led this match 13-0 at Half Time but a Blizzard hit for the during of the second half and Rochdale fought back leaving Wigan "fortunate to finish with five points in hand". |
