Wigan forward Patrick Mago reflected as he scored his first try of 2023 in Wigan’s high-scoring win over Hull KR at the DW Stadium on Friday night.

“It was a really good game and the boys put in a good performance,” he said, “We knew they would come out strong but with a different team as well so we just wanted to focus on ourselves, put in a good performance for ourselves and we enjoyed that one.”

Mago crashed over for a try in the 66th minute to mark his first score this year: “It’s definitely not common for me but I enjoyed it. Harry spoke to me just before that and said hit me on the out and all I had to do was catch the ball and put it down so it was good.”

He added: “Wins like that really bring us together and obviously scoring a try in front of that crowd is definitely one to remember.”

Speaking on preparations earlier this week, Mago said: “At the start of the week we put a lot of focus on ourselves. We knew we wouldn’t be coming up against the same team from the other few games, we know they’re preparing for the Challenge Cup and we really just wanted to come out and put a good performance in.

Throughout the whole week we just made sure we were doing the little things right and making sure we played our best footy.”

Finally, the Warriors prop forward looks ahead to two-weeks preparation before Round 22: “We’re going to do a bit of camping and training off-site next week as well as a few days off. It’s important for the boys to freshen up our bodies and come in ready to face Hull FC the following week.”
