This week on Wigan TV, in partnership with Principal Partner Prestone, we are looking back at some of the classic games when Wigan have come from behind to win in dramatic style.

Ranging from 1994 all the way up until 2018, there will be 12 classic late wins uploaded to Wigan TV this week.

Subscribers will be able to watch highlights and the full games with two uploads guaranteed each day from 2pm on the homepage.

The second classic game is from December 1995 when Wigan travelled to Widnes in the Regal Trophy. From 16-4 with ten minutes left to play, the away side forced extra time and went on to win…
