Liam Marshall completes a stunning hat-trick for Wigan Warriors after Bevan French found him with a brilliant kick!
A hat-trick from Liam Marshall on his 150th Wigan Warriors appearance helped send the League Leaders’ Shield winners into the Betfred Super League Grand Final with a 42-12 win at home to Hull Kingston Rovers in Saturday’s semi-final.
Two tries from Marshall and one from Jai Field inside the first 11 minutes put Wigan in the ascendancy early on at the DW Stadium, but Hull KR worked their way back into the contest and cut the deficit to 18-6 at half-time thanks to Elliot Minchella’s converted score.
Winger Marshall restored the 18-point cushion with his third try of the match three minutes after the break and Field’s second, along with finishes from Toby King and the competition’s joint-leading try-scorer in 2023 Abbas Miski, left no way back for the Betfred Challenge Cup beaten finalists, who did get a late consolation from Jez Litten.
The result sets up a first-versus-second clash in the Grand Final at Old Trafford in seven days’ time, with the competition’s French representatives Catalans Dragons providing the opposition as the Warriors aim to lift the Super League title for the first time since 2018.
