Rob's just the job for Maguire
Amos Roberts scored two tries as Wigan got their Super League XV campaign up and running with a 38-6 win against former coach Brian Noble's Crusaders.
Warriors were leading 20-6 at half-time and added second-half touchdowns through the excellent Cameron Phelps, Roberts and Lee Mossop.
They followed first-half tries from Roberts, Andy Coley, Martin Gleeson and Pat Richards.
Crusaders grabbed a try just before the break when Luke Dyer touched down and Michael Witt converted.
Paul Deacon was named on the bench for Wigan in Michael Maguire's first match in charge of Warriors and entered the action before half-time in front of a crowd of 13,680.
