Wigan Warriors claimed back-to-back League Leaders’ Shields for the first time in their history following a 64-0 result over an inexperienced Salford Red Devils outfit in the ultimate round.
Matt Peet’s side, now with five titles in a row, finished the regular season with 22 wins from 27, with a handful of players deserved of places in the Dream Team following stellar campaigns.

2. Jake Wardle
The England international was named in the Dream Team for the first time last year after an impressive debut campaign in cherry and white. One of, if not the best centre in the competition, Wardle has enjoyed another fine year in 2024 with nine tries and 15 assists - the most for a centre in the latter, and at the top for Wigan Photo: Dean Williams
3. Bevan French
Every time he takes to the field, the reigning Man of Steel proves he is the best in the business. The only thing that may go against him this year could be the mid-season injury - but French has still managed an impressive 16 tries and 14 assists in 18 appearances Photo: Paul Harding
4. Liam Marshall
The prolific try-scoring winger will finish the season at the top of the charts in Super League, with two more against Salford taking his tally to 27 for the year - the same as Abbas Miski and Tom Johnstone in 2023. Marshall has developed a deadly left-edge partnership with Wardle, and was rewarded with an England call-up earlier this month in Shaun Wane’s extended squad. More than just a finisher, his overall game is up there each week for the Warriors Photo: Bernard Platt
