REIGNING champions Wigan have been docked two points for allegedly breaching Super League’s salary cap.

The breach, which the Rugby Football League (RFL) says occurred in 2017, was announced just over 24 hours before the Warriors begin the defence of the title they won for the fifth time at Old Trafford in October.

It means that Wigan, now under new head coach Adrian Lam, will kick off the 2019 season at St Helens tonight on minus two points.
