Wigan’s right edge proved dangerous once more in the 21st when Marshall bagged his second of the game. Dan Sarginson this time the provider. Hardaker failed to convert.
Following a dangerous tackle on Hull KR’s Weller Hauraki, Wigan forward Romain Navarrete was sent to the sin bin in the 26th minute.
Hardaker grabbed a try of his own in the 37th minutes thanks to a well-placed kick from George Williams. The halfback nudged one forward upon realising the Rovers defenders where going to catch him following a line break on the 40 metre line. Hardaker won the race to the ball and managed to touch down in the corner.
Liam Marshall completed his hat trick in the 54th minute, a try that marked his 50th for the Club. A gut busting run from prop-forward Joe Bullock made up plenty of yards down the middle of the park. After Rovers finally dropped him, a right edge move found its way to Marshall, who touched down in the corner. Hardaker failed to add the extras.
Momentum firmly stayed with Wigan and just three minutes later they crossed again. George Williams found himself 10 yards from the Rovers line with acres of space to stroll into and touch down under the posts. Hardaker added the extras.

Wigan piled on more misery for the Robins in the 64th minute with the first of the game for Oliver Gildart. Jarrod Sammut broke free of the Rovers line from halfway, but was unable to run all the way clear before being caught be two defenders. A clever offload to Gildart saw the centre cross the whitewash easily. Hardaker provided two more.
Just three minutes later, provider turned scorer as Joe Burgess strolled home from 30 metres to score easily in the left corner. Zak Hardaker added a further two points.
