Wigan Warriors star Georgia Wilson preparing for ‘biggest game of the season’
Denis Betts’ side have the chance to claim bragging rights and strengthen their lead at the top of the Women’s Super League table, with the clash live on Sky Sports.
The current Challenge Cup holders had to come from behind to end the Warriors’ unbeaten start to the season in Round 5, with the outfit continuing to seek a first ever Super League win over their rivals.
It’s the biggest game of the season in my opinion,” Wilson said, who returned to the club earlier in May following a stint in Australia.
“There’s a big build-up during the week but we’ve just got to stay calm and focus on what we do best.
“It’s going to be a really tough game.
“Saints are really strong defensively. We played against Featherstone recently and we defended really well, they didn’t get on the scoreboard.
“We just need to keep that momentum and not drop off and hopefully we can come away with the win after a tough game.
“I played at The Brick Community Stadium during the last World Cup – which was unreal, playing for my country. But I think it’s going to be amazing playing for my club and hopefully some fans will come a little earlier to support us.”
Wilson was a part of the inaugural 2018 side where Wigan went on to win the Grand Final and made 43 appearances across a four-year stint before pursuing opportunities in Australia at the start of 2023.
The Cumbrian represented Souths Logan Magpies and Norths Devils down under, and has since enjoyed a return to the Warriors under head coach Betts, including two tries in the recent 50-0 triumph over Featherstone Rovers Ladies.
She said: “I went over to Australia to play rugby league, but I spent a lot of time with family over there.
