Wigan win a dramatic World Club Challenge against Penrith Panthers after being on the right end of two key video reviews.
Wigan won the World Club Challenge for a record-equalling fifth time by beating Australian champions Penrith Panthers at the DW Stadium.
The match was breathless from start to finish, with Wigan penned back for long periods but able to score on their only three real forays into opposition territory.Kruise Leeming dives over for Wigan's second try Penrith, in pre-season for their own domestic National Rugby League campaign, looked rusty and were repeatedly wrapped up on the sixth tackle until Cleary's high kick bounced off the head of Miski and Mitch Kenny sent Cleary over for a simple try.
Wigan were penned back for almost the entire second half but defended ferociously and in their only attack Jai Field's grubber kick was picked up by Wardle. Moore's call was "no try" and when several video angles failed to prove otherwise, Wigan leapt for joy. "No doubt about it, I don't think we would have got the job done if it wasn't here in front of a sold-out Wigan crowd. They really got us home in the end.""Wigan took their chances and we didn't. In the end, that was probably the difference. Pretty high quality game but congrats to Wigan.
