MATCH REPORT AS WIGAN WARRIORS BEAT HULL KR AT THE BRICK COMMUNITY STADIUM IN ROUND 25 OF BETFRED SUPER LEAGUE ACTION.
The much anticipated top of the table clash between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR more than lived up to expectation, with the Cherry and Whites trailing for over an hour before a Liam Marshall double secured an enthralling victory in front of over 16,000 at The Brick Community Stadium.
Tries from Matt Parcell and Mikey Lewis saw the Robins open up a 10 point lead in the first half before Abbas Miski and Junior Nsemba struck one back each for their side, but penalty goals either side of half-time by Lewis would cancel the latter try out. Further hope was lost when the visitors went the full distance to extend their lead to 12 points with a Joe Burgess try, but a comeback inspired by some Bevan French individual brilliance was completed by Liam Marshall, with three tries scored in just over 10 minutes to take the win.
Report
There was a Grand Final like atmosphere at The Brick Community Stadium building up to kick off, with fireworks and a deafening roar from the crowd as the players took to the field for the much anticipated top of the table clash.
As for the action on the pitch, both teams would get through their sets for the first six minutes until a miscue between Kruise Leeming and Ethan Havard saw Hull KR awarded a scrum past half-way for a knock-on. The Warriors stood firm in defence to ensure the visitors were unable to make their first opportunity of the evening count, before marching up the field themselves with a strong following set. Junior Nsemba would raise the Wigan crowd off their feet minutes later after breaking a tackle to open up the Hull defence, but a lack of support on his shoulder would see that attack come to nothing.
Another break – this time from Jai Field down the left flank – was evidence that the Warriors were moving the ball well, but penalties were hampering their progress, and a high tackle from Harry Smith on Ryan Hall took the Robins into home territory. Another foul at the end of that set would grant KR a further six tackles in front of the Wigan posts where Matt Parcell profited, sneaking in from dummy-half to score the first try of the game. Mikey Lewis converted.
Looking to bounce back, the Warriors defended the Robins’ next set well to earn possession back, but the ball coming loose as Luke Thompson was tackled would grant the away side with another opportunity to post points. They would once again close up to the Wigan try-line quickly, where Lewis tip-toed his way through the Warriors’ defence to score a second Hull KR try in quick succession. Despite missing the conversion, the half-back had put his side 10 points up with 25 minutes gone.
Moments later, the Warriors looked vulnerable once again in their own half as space opened up for the Robins down the left hand side. They would kick across field to end another dangerous set, but Wardle was ready and waiting to capitalise and counter-attack. He returned the ball past half-way before support arrived the way of Field on his shoulder, who took his side even further up the pitch before being tackled by Joe Burgess. Burgess would hold Field down and not allow him to play the ball, leaving referee Jack Smith no choice but to send him to the sin bin.
Trying and testing the visiting defence, the Warriors earned a repeat set, which, along with the extra man, they would take advantage of. Field’s floated pass found Abbas Miski on the right wing, who used a burst of pace to help him leap towards the corner and ground the ball under the tackle of two defenders. Adam Keighran’s kick was just wide of the post.
The Warriors attack was beginning to click and Bevan French was enjoying plenty of the possession in the middle of the park. Once more up into Hull KR territory, French would dance side to side along their line before passing to a wide open Junior Nsemba on the left flank, who beat Broadbent to the corner and further cut the deficit with Wigan’s second try of the evening. Keighran’s conversion came even closer than his previous effort, but still to no avail.
Almost immediately from kick off, a loose carry from the Warriors would see the visitors granted a set of six in a threatening position with time running thin. Just metres away from the Warriors’ line, an interference with the play-the-ball would see the Robins awarded a penalty, which they opted to kick and convert through Lewis to extend their advantage by two. Despite a late effort from Matt Peet’s side to capitalise on a repeat set, they would lose the ball on the hooter with the half-time score at 12-8 to Hull KR.
The intensity of the affair would not drop after the break and with KR once again in possession, a late hit from Tom Forber on Lewis would once again give him the option to kick from the tee. He converted once more and his side were six points to the good. Lewis was at the heart of the action once more as he walked across the Warriors’ line before being tackled, where he would knock the ball on at the play-the-ball to grant the Warriors with a set of six 30 metres out.
A repeat set made the opportunity one Wigan desperately wanted to take advantage of, but a wayward pass from Smith intercepted by Peta Hiku would flip the attack on it’s head, as he ran nearly the full distance up the other end of the pitch before passing to Burgess, who scored in front of the travelling support. Lewis’ kick from the right of the posts was good to take his side to 20 on the night.
A relentless spell of defence from Hull KR saw the Warriors struggling to get out of their own half, but a high tackle on Liam Marshall would provide some much needed restbite, with Patrick Mago then making some solid metres to give his side a chance. A dropped interception from Burgess granted a repeat set, which looked to be coming to nothing on the final tackle until French took matters into his own hands. The Australian spotted space behind the defence to stab a kick through, which he would incredibly collect and score himself. Keighran converted and the game was at one score.
Minutes later, a potentially game-changing moment would occur. Tyler Dupree was hit high by Jai Whitbread upon attempting to bring the ball out, and the Robins’ forward was yellow carded for the challenge, giving Peet’s side a man advantage for the next 10 minutes.
With the extra body, the Warriors were finding another level of energy to their opposition, as a strong carry from Liam Farrell took them 40 metres out on the last tackle. Trusting one another with each pass, Wigan opted to move the ball out wide the way of Field, who used his electric pace to find Marshall on the touchline. He continued the attack down the wing, opting not to kick back inside and beating the last defender himself to score in front of the South Stand. Keighran nailed the kick from out wide, and this blockbuster affair was level.
Mago had made his physical presence known throughout the contest, but it would be the forward’s hands that would take the headlines. He played a wonderful one-two with Nsemba before unleashing Wardle down the left flank, who powered down the field before passing to Marshall for his second try of the night. Keighran’s conversion hit the post, but the Warriors led for the first time in the game with 10 minutes remaining.
The Cherry and Whites had grown into the game and it was emerging they had peaked at the perfect time. Despite being wasteful with their sets, a combination of tackles from the Warriors’ right flank saw Ryan Hall dragged into touch, which was roared like a try by the supporters.
With two minutes to go, a repeat set for Willie Peters’ side gave them one last chance to prevent a Warriors victory. Moving the ball from left to right, Matty Storton was met by a thunderous tackle from Harry Smith, dislodging the ball to be gathered by Nsemba. The Warriors would stand firm on the following set to take an emphatic win in front of over 16,000 at The Brick Community Stadium.

Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Peet: Hungry to learn and improve
* Matt Peet has reflected on Wigan Warriors’ Betfred Super League win over Hull KR.
* Peet: “It was an 80 minute arm wrestle from which both teams will go home hungry to learn and improve.”
* FT | Wigan Warriors 24-20 Hull KR.
MATT PEET HAS REFLECTED ON THE WARRIORS’ BETFRED SUPER LEAGUE VICTORY OVER HULL KR AT THE BRICK COMMUNITY STADIUM.
The Warriors scored 18 unanswered points after the hour to claim an important two points which takes Wigan back to the top of the Betfred Super League table.
Sharing his thoughts on the result, Peet said: “I thought it was a great game, right from the start. The atmosphere and the event the Club created brought a good feeling about it, and both teams delivered. It was an 80 minute arm wrestle from which both teams will go home hungry to learn and improve. I just thought it was a good, entertaining game between two competitive teams which could have gone either way.”
On the performance, Peet said: “Hull KR were certainly the better team in the first half and we had to improve to get back into it. There was stuff in the first half we did well, but I just think we went wrong in a few fundamental areas of our defence. Credit to Hull KR and some of the stuff they were doing. They’re a Club and a team on the up who have a lot to be proud of.”
On Patrick Mago’s performance, Peet said: “That’s what Patrick’s capable of in that role that he has. Sometimes he plays more minutes but it’s more about the timing of the introduction and what he does. He carried strong but he also had some nice touches with the ball as well. He brought the crowd into the game and was that point of difference along with Tyler. When we’re on the front foot and time them changes right, they can be really influential which it proved.”
Praising Junior Nsemba, Peet said: “Junior was very, very good. Early on in the game he hit a line with bodies in front of him but he came out the other side after good contact. He was just a menace all night. He deserves all the praise he is getting.”

Re: Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Hull KR boss Willie Peters discusses controversial incidents after letting lead slip at Wigan Warriors
Willie Peters has declared that he would never coach his players to stay down after Jai Whitbread was controversially sin-binned in Hull KR's narrow loss to League Leaders' Shield rivals Wigan Warriors.
The Rovers prop saw yellow for making contact with the head of opposite number Tyler Dupree, who stayed down long enough for the video referee to review the incident.
Dupree remained on the field despite a lengthy delay and Wigan went on to score two tries against 12 men for the second time in the game.
Joe Burgess was sin-binned in the first half for a professional foul.
"The first one was fine but I'd need to have a look at the second one," said Peters following a 24-20 defeat that leaves the Warriors in pole position to claim top spot.
"If he (Dupree) is injured that’s fair enough but if he had not stayed down in the tackle, it would have been play on because it doesn’t look like an illegal tackle.
"If you're injured, you're injured. Stay down and come off if you need to. I'll never coach my players to stay down."
Rovers were the better team in the first half and held a 20-8 lead heading into the final quarter.
But Wigan took advantage of the yellow cards to leave the Robins playing catch-up in their bid for a first major trophy since 1985.
"Naturally the players are disappointed and rightly so because they put a lot of effort into that game," said Peters.
"We got in front and probably should have closed the game out but we were down to 12 men twice and that hurt us.
"We went more than toe to toe with them. They'll be looking over their shoulder, that's for sure.
"We were in a really strong position in that game. We're looking forward to hopefully playing them again down the track.
"When it was 13 v 13, I thought the players played extremely well. We didn't handle being down to 12, that's for sure.
"The players weren't happy with the result but there's so much to take out of that game."
The defeat leaves Rovers two points adrift of Wigan with just two rounds remaining.
They could, however, secure a top-two place and a home semi-final with a win at Leigh Leopards in their penultimate game.
"We're playing Leigh next week who are playing extremely well," said Peters.
"That's our next focus but we're in the finals and would like to have another opportunity to play teams like Wigan again."

Re: Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Willie Peters, his coach, should take a leaf out of his captains book & stop complaining. He is questioning the integrity of our coach Matt Peet & also the integrity of Wigan Warriors as a club!
Elliot Minchella's reaction to Hull KR defeat in Wigan struck a different tone and explains a lot
Rovers captain Minchella shows class in defeat at Wigan but sentiments are revealing
Hull Kingston Rovers' 24-20 defeat at Wigan Warriors created plenty of positivity and sympathy, in terms of outside reaction to the performance, but captain Elliot Minchella's reaction to it showed just how high the bar is being set by them.
There was no sense of it being a heroic defeat, he was gutted. And the vibes were about taking responsibility - not complaining about the second yellow card of the night, for Jai Whitbread, as many outsiders were doing - and learning lessons. His comments as captain were an insight into why Rovers have been such serious contenders so far this season, and have such grand aspirations looking ahead.
"I don't know what to say, disappointed," were the first words of a man who could still become the first Rovers captain in nearly 40 years to lift a top-level major trophy. But what he did say afterwards pulled no punches.
"I'm disappointed with our discipline to be honest. It's no-one's fault individually. We take the highs all together and the lows all together. We're not pointing the finger at our team-mates. Just disappointed that's the position we were in and we should have been better with 12 blokes on the field, better to defend it. That's not about the blokes who were off the field, it's about the blokes who were on it."
Even when it was put to him that they had been the better side when it was 13 v 13, Minchella was having none of it. "They were the better team; they won on the scoreboard, fair and square," he said. "You don't win anything for being the better side for 60 minutes unfortunately. And it hurts."
Minchella was big enough to make a comment like that - but many outsiders might see things differently. Rovers were the better side for long periods and, going forward, that gives hope that another crack at Wigan - a world-class outfit - could turn out differently, especially when the players are setting such high standards and being so accountable.

Re: Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Wigan coach Matt Peet's reaction to Hull KR and nature of contest says a lot
Peet responds to question about yellow cards for Hull KR players at Wigan
Willie Peters believes players staying down is becoming a growing issue after Hull KR's defeat to Wigan Warriors. An outstanding game between Super League's two highest-ranked side saw the Warriors prevail 24-20 to take a big stride towards securing the League Leaders' Shield.
Despite a breathtaking game, the major talking point after the match was the sin bin of Jai Whitbread, who was given ten minutes after a tackle on Tyler Dupree. The England forward stayed down after the tackle, which prompted a review from the video referee, and it was deemed necessary for Whitbread to be yellow carded for a high tackle.
Peet said: "I know it could have gone either way. I was thinking, if we get beat here, I'd still have been proud to be part of that game.n
"It's not just about tightness on the scoreboard, it was about the quality of the game. It was intense. It was an 80-minute game, an 80-minute arm wrestle. It was in the balance. It was a pleasure to be a part of. I think both teams will go home hungry to learn and improve. They are a club on the up and a team on the up. They've got a lot to be proud of."
Asked about the season run-in and play-offs, Peet said: "We'll have to be better than that. That won't win us anything."
Questioned about the yellow cards, he said: "The first one is obvious. The second one is just in keeping with what we've been seeing, week in week. I'll just say that, thanks very much."

Re: Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Dupree should of gone off, not a fan of what he did staying down playing that he was hurt, Peet should of hauled him off, rubbish like that needs to be eradicated from the game it’s spoiling it, yes I know it’s been done to us this season,
It just seems players are now staying down as long as they have to, until a replay is shown,
I bet Abbas felt a bit stupid after getting a great tackle from tanginoa, tried milking a head shot and soon recovered when it was said all was good,
Back in day u got a whack, still played ball as quick as u could and then took a min after and tried to get one back on whoever had got u,
I don’t like how this rubbish is going now it’s getting a joke

If you look at the tackle and the way he lands, he stays down in exactly the same position.
I do think they need to look at the rules around VRs looking at incidents, players staying down and HIAs.

Re: Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Other than the doctor how does anyone know wether Dupree was injured or not. There is no doubt that he was hit with force to the head which under todays rules is a red in this case mitigated down to a yellow.
Re: Warriors take victory against Hull KR
Other teams were milking pens like this from the start of the season and it was hurting us with bans and cards. We only started doing it 4-6 weeks ago. Why put ourselves at a disadvantage any more
