Wigan paid the price for a woeful start as they went down 20-8 to Sydney Roosters in the 25th World Club Challenge in front of a bumper crowd of 21,331 at the DW Stadium. Morris was named man-of-the-match, repeating his feat from the 2011 final when he scored two tries for St George Illawarra as they beat Wigan, also at the DW Stadium. However, it was the one newcomer who stole the limelight, with Morris, who got his chance in the absence of centre Latrell Mitchell, making a blistering start to his Roosters career. 🛬 Davies incoming... 📸 Winger @tom5davies dived over in the corner for our first half try. An interception from centre Dan Sarginson and a one-on-one ball steal by skipper Sean O’Loughlin gave Wigan renewed hope early in the second half.
