Wigan Warriors player ratings: Centre shines in Grand Final win with highest marks

Harry Smith maintained a 100% record from the boot with three from three, with Liam Marshall scoring the game’s only try in a tense 80 minute battle.

Here are our player ratings:

Jai Field - 8. The superstar full-back looked dangerous on numerous occasions and threatened the line. Did enough on the night.

Abbas Miski - 7. Had the tough challenge of facing Tom Johnstone all night but managed under the high balls against the England international. Some good runs in the middle and out-wide.

Toby King - 7. His farewell game with a Super League trophy. Will go back to Warrington a better player for his time under Matt Peet.

Jake Wardle - 9. Stand-out Wigan player. Had a chance in the first half and looked very dangerous with every touch in the second, playing a big part in the lead-up to Marshall’s opening try. The Harry Sunderland Trophy winner.

Liam Marshall - 8. Try-scoring hero. His own fairytale, having missed both 2018 and 2020 due to injury.

Bevan French - 7. A quieter game for the Man of Steel, but some decent kicks and runs. Had his try chalked off for a forward pass from Field.

Harry Smith - 8. A calm and cool head, doing his job and nailing his kicks. Nothing fancy, but absolutely a big influence.

Tyler Dupree - 8. Won a penalty to make it 10-2 for a high shot. His first of no doubt many appearances at Old Trafford.

Brad O’Neill - 7. An enjoyable player to watch at nine because he does exactly what’s asked of him. Solid in the middle.

Kaide Ellis - 7. Battled well against some tough, experienced opponents in the middle.

Liam Farrell - 8. Inches from scoring the game’s first and assisted Marshall’s try. Great performance from the skipper.

Kai Pearce-Paul - 8. Looked threatening on the right edge and poked his nose through in the first half.

Morgan Smithies – 8. England calling for Smithies against Tonga?

Bench

Sam Powell - 7. Came on just after the half hour mark. Did his job.

Willie Isa - 7. Always puts in 100%.

Ethan Havard - N/A. Only played for 10 minutes before limping off.

Patrick Mago - 7. Introduced to the action just before half-time. Some good carries.
