Bunch of Wigan 'country bumpkins' ready to steal Super League crown

TOM Davies insists Hull KR's unlikely band of Wigan-born “country bumpkins” are ready to rip the Super League title back over to the east side of the Pennines at Old Trafford.

Along with Joe Burgess and Oliver Gildart, Davies is one of three members of the Rovers squad who were born in Wigan, and whose shared hunger for silverware has led them to pitch up over 100 miles away close to the crumbling Holderness coast.

Joining in the wake of last year's Grand Final loss to the same team, Davies set about making an immediate impression at Rovers, leading the league for carries and scoring 21 tries, including the last-ditch effort that helped the Robins end 40 years of trophyless hurt in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley in June.
