Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane insists his side can still get better, despite winning their last nine consecutive fixtures.

The Warriors victory over Huddersfield last time out moved them clear at the top of the Super League table, with Warrington a point behind in second.
However, despite the fact Wigan have won nine in a row, Wane believes there is more to come from the Warriors in the remainder of the campaign.
He told the BBC: "A few weeks ago we played Widnes and lost. There were calls for me to be sacked, so I know it can soon change.
"I prepare my teams the best I can and so far it's paid off, but it soon turns around. I don't enjoy my victories that much and I don't get too down on my defeats.
"I'm pretty happy but I wouldn't say I'm ecstatic [with the season so far]. I think we can play better."
Wigan take on local rivals St Helens in the final match of Magic Weekend at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Sunday, with Wigan already having beaten Saints in the Super League and the Challenge Cup this season.
Wane feels his players do not need any extra motivation for the clash with their fierce rivals and played down the significance of the Warriors' two victories over Saints already this season.
He added: "Saints are a quality team and they've troubled us in those games that we've won. The Super League teams in this competition are fantastic and St Helens are one of the best.
"It's a St Helens-Wigan derby so there will be no need to motivate our players. They'll be ready."
