Wigan Warriors 1996 Season Overview
The 1996 season was the first of the new Super League era, marking rugby league’s shift to summer competition. Wigan entered as reigning champions from the winter game under Eric Hughes. Despite missing out on Wembley, Wigan’s squad — featuring icons like Andy Farrell, Jason Robinson, Henry Paul, and Kris Radlinski — continued to set the standard for professionalism and attacking flair. The season symbolised Wigan’s evolution from their late‑80s and early‑90s dominance into the modern era of rugby league.
