Wigan Warriors kick off the new Super Four format of the Women's Super League with a thumping 44-6 win at St Helens.

Tries: Derbyshire 2, Hunter 2, Davies, M Jones, Wilton, Foubister, Coleman Goals: Rowe 4 Wigan Warriors maintained their 100% record in 2026 as they comfortably saw off rivals St Helens in the first match of the new Super Four format. It was a fifth successive win for them over Saints in the past 12 months, including a 54-6 demolition in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley, as they underlined why they are the team to beat in the Women's Super League. The defending champions scored nine tries with two apiece for Ellise Derbyshire and Eva Hunter with further scores from Anna Davies, Molly Jones, Remi Wilton, Jenna Foubister and Mary Coleman at the BrewDog Stadium. St Helens were outclassed on home turf and had only a Luci McColm try on the stroke of half-time on a difficult evening. Whatever the format, though, there is no doubt that Wigan are the standard-bearers for the rest to catch. They scored from their first set as a high kick into the sun on the last tackle was spilled by young Saints full-back Liv Leach and bounced invitingly for Derbyshire to score. That was soon backed up by a fabulous individual try from Woman of Steel Hunter as she received the ball inside her own half and showed an irresistible combination of power, pace and sidestepping to score.
