Liam Marshall (centre) has registered three hat-tricks so far this season for Wigan Warriors
Wigan (18) 42
Tries: Marshall 3, Field 2, King, Miski Goals: Smith 7
Hull KR (6) 12
Tries: Minchella, Litten Goals: Schneider 2

Liam Marshall scored a hat-trick as Wigan Warriors blew Hull KR away to book a Super League Grand Final date with Catalans Dragons.

The damage was done early on when Wigan raced into an 18-6 lead with the first two Marshall scores and a Jai Field score, with Elliot Minchella in reply.

Wigan piled on points with Marshall’s treble, Field getting a second and Toby King and Abbas Miski also crossing.

Jez Litten’s late consolation was scant reward for a huge Hull KR contingent.

This will be Wigan’s 12th appearance in the end of season showpiece, and their first at Old Trafford since 2018 as they ruthlessly dispatched Hull KR in front of a 15,000-strong crowd at the DW Stadium.

There was a relentlessness about Wigan, their props in Kaide Ellis, Tyler Dupree and off the bench Patrick Mago and Harvie Hill carried with brutal intent.

More to follow.
