WIGAN recorded another big win on their return from Las Vegas as the Super League champions came from behind to beat Huddersfield 44-18 at the Brick Community Stadium.
Eight days on from defeating Warrington 48-24 in the first Super League match to take place in the United States, Wigan, who had landed back in Britain on Tuesday night, trailed early on to Adam Swift’s try and subsequently went in at the break 18-10 down.
But Matt Peet’s men then took control in the second half, crossing six times, including a second try of the match for skipper Liam Farrell, as they secured a third-successive win after their opening round golden-point loss to Leigh.
