Summary:l

Wigan celebrated the new year by going top of the league after they beat Wakefield handsomely. Widnes didn't play on this particular day so it was Wigan's game in hand and 31,000 turned out for the match. It took 20 minutes for Wigan to break down early resistance from Wakefield but it was a good effort after that.
