Tables First Division Wigan, Bradford Northern and Warrington all finished the season on top of the ladder with 46 points, but Wigan's superior points differential saw them crowned League Champions for the fifth consecutive time. This earned them the right to travel to Australia at the close of the season and contest the 1994 World Club Challenge. Wigan defeated the Brisbane Broncos and confirmed their position as the dominant rugby league club of the year. After finishing in second last and last place respectively, Hull Kingston Rovers and Leigh were demoted to the Second Division. main WDL WIG BRA WAR CAS HFX SHE LEE STH HUL WID FEV SAL OLD WAK HKR LEI PRE PRE PRE PRE PRE PRE PRE PRE REL REL 23 0 7 784 555 19 1 10 787 466 13 1 16 651 681 17 2 11 682 581 14 2 14 536 530 15 2 13 673 680 2 1 27 370 912 10 1 19 552 651 16 2 12 704 671 15 1 14 704 537 9 0 21 493 782 23 0 7 628 430 9 1 20 458 708 14 0 16 523 642 23 0 7 780 403 11 0 19 554 650 C R R Bradford Northern Castleford Leigh Sheffield Eagles Halifax Featherstone Rovers Leeds Salford Oldham Hull Kingston Rovers Hull F.C.
