Where to win about half a game in rugby league? (5)
I believe the answer is:
wigan
'where' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'win about half a game in rugby league?' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'half a' suggests halving the letters.
'game' becomes 'go' (go is a board game).
'in rugby league?' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'go' with half the letters taken is 'g'.
'g'+'a'='ga'
'win' placed around 'ga' is 'WIGAN'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wigan that I've seen before include "Greater Manchester town with an "Athletic" football club" , "Manchester-area town, its Pier, Orwell" , "North-western town" , "The Road to -- Pier (Orwell)" , "Town near Manchester" .)
