Wigan are defending quickly and tackling quickly giving no space then attack moving to gain ground at EVERY opportunity in play. Whereas Saints are slow in pass, covering, making themselves available to pass to, taking the ball at walking pace making little ground and making their game harder.

It really looks now for sure that this trophy will be remaining in Wigan's cabinet.
Wigan 38-6 St Helens
Eva Hunter's quickfire double in the first half really set the tone for Wigan in today's final.
'She's done it again!' - Hunter scores twice in five minutes

There is a breeze at Wembley now which is not unwelcome.
It's very warm. Maybe not quite to the level we've seen in the past week or so, but it's uncomfortable just sitting watching this. It's impressive to see that Wigan haven't taken their foot off the gas as they race in for yet another try.
Grace Banks
No such trouble for Wigan!
It's a simple numbers game as one pass takes out the bunched Saints backline allowing Grace Banks to sear through a yawning gap and go all the way to the line.
The confidence is flowing for Wigan and Saints are wilting.
Isabel Rowe can't add the extras this time.
Wigan 34-6 St Helens
It's just the way the game is going for Saints as the try is not given.
Video ref Liam Rush had a few looks at it and says Hoyle-Holdsworth lost it as she reached to dot it down.
The knock-on ruling makes it doubly dispiriting for St Helens.
Wigan 34-6 St Helens
Saints are on the charge and they think Shona Hoyle-Holdsworth has pushed her way over but it's going to be checked.
Wigan 34-6 St Helens
This is not going the way that the retiring Jodie Cunningham would have wanted but she is doing her best to drive St Helens forward.

It's a brilliant effort from the Saints defenders but Anna Davies is gone and she's in and out.
It's a perfect winger's try.
She's having a wow of a game, that's for sure. She just backs herself and it's a brilliant finish.

Normal service resumed.
Wigan have just looked faster and sharper all match and Saints desperately need a response.
Wigan 28-6 St Helens
Here we go for the second 40.
Wigan with one hand on the trophy, can Saints mount what would be a truly remarkable turnaround?

Pheobe Hook
St Helens winger on BBC Two
It's been difficult for St Helens. They've not had much chance to be in Wigan's half, Wigan have pinned them which I'm assuming has been their game plan and they've really struggled to get out of that.
Defensively they look unconnected. So missing that connectiveness which builds trust, builds confidence within each other which ultimately saves tries.

Former England International on BBC Two
I've got no words.
I thought last year Wigan were really dominant but this year they seem to have stepped it up a gear.
One thing that I'm just so impressed with is that they just seem to do the basics really well.

I said pre-kick-off that the weather might have an impact on this game.
Well I was wrong. Heat or not, Wigan absolutely raced out of the blocks and the game seldom slowed down.
Another year, however, and another massive deficit for St Helens to claw down in the second half.
Wigan have a hand on the trophy here and it'll take something big to stop them from lifting it for the second year in a row.

Wigan's five tries have put them in complete control of this one but Luci McColm's late score just before half-time for Saints probably gives Denis Betts something to talk about in the dressing room right now.
In the heat of Wembley, Wigan have acclimatised well to their surroundings and have confidently shown their class.
Anna Davies' try was arguably the pick of the five and Eva Hunter has shone with two scores of her own inside the opening 40 minutes.

Luci McColm gets the ball down against her former club and if ever St Helens needed a try it was certainly at this point.
Luci McColm, goal Faye Gaskin
Boy did Saints need that - they're on the board just before the break.
Faye Gaskin's superb kick off allows them to get up field and Luci McColm dives over next to the sticks with the final move of the half.
Gaskin then adds the extras.
Anna Davies
It's given!
Anna Davies returns well for Wigan and the Warriors begin their set 30 yards from their line.
Wigan glide up field and it's Davies who finishes off the move her set began by diving in the right corner under huge pressure - finishing superbly.
Isabel Rowe's superb attempt from touch to add the extras hits the bar - very unlucky.
Wigan 24-0 St Helens
We have a try on field for Wigan but video referee Liam Rush is called into action for a second time in five minutes...
Anna Davies thinks she's scored Wigan's fifth of a dominant first half.
Wigan 24-0 St Helens
Video referee Liam Rush is called into action for the first time today and it is adjudged that Wigan's Grace Banks was indeed in touch when she was forced out of play.
Saints' challenge is successful.
