Liam Farrell’s try in golden point extra time was decisive as Wigan Warriors completed a sensational comeback to defeat Hull KR and strengthen their grip on second spot in the Super League table.
Trailing by eight points with as many minutes remaining, late tries from Liam Marshall and Abbas Miski made it 22-22 to send the game to extra time. Prior to that Rovers, who like Wigan appear to be genuine Grand Final contenders, had overturned a deficit of their own to lead 22-14. At that stage, they were the side who looked on track to go second and narrow the gap to the league leaders, Warrington, to two points.
