Overview

• Mikey Lewis earned the Rob Burrow player-of-the-match award after sparking the win with a first-half try and a commanding display.
• A yellow card to Wigan hooker Brad O’Neill for a tip tackle on Tyrone May opened the door for quick Hull KR scores from Lewis and Joe Burgess.
• Joe Burgess crossed twice, including a late interception, and Jez Litten added a second-half try as Hull KR pulled clear.
• The result stopped Wigan’s bid for a third straight title and was Matt Peet’s first final defeat, with 68,853 in attendance at Old Trafford.
• Veterans Micky McIlorum and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves featured after successful appeals, and Hull KR now qualify to face the Brisbane Broncos in the revived World Club Challenge.
