Roosters beat Wigan to win World Club Challenge rugby league title BY IAN MCCULLOUGHMartin Rickett Sydney Roosters skipper Boyd Cordner raises the World Club Challenge rugby league trophy after a 20-8 win over Wigan. Coach Trent Robinson has saluted Brett Morris after his dream Sydney Roosters debut in the 20-8 World Club Challenge win over Wigan. Man of the match Morris bagged a first-half hat-trick of tries at DW Stadium on Sunday (Monday NZ time) to lay the foundations for the Roosters' fourth world club crown, equalling the record held by Wigan. "It was a great debut in Roosters colours," added Robinson, who said the veteran's strong pre-season work shone through. ​Waerea-Hargreaves' late hit on Wigan hooker Sam Powell prompted an all-in scuffle in the second half, according to reports.
