Super League: Liam Marshall stars as Wigan Warriors beat Hull KR 42-12 to seal their place in the Grand Final

Liam Marshall scored three tries in his 150th appearance for Wigan Warriors as the League Leaders’ Shield winners beat Hull Kingston Rovers 42-12 to reach the Betfred Super League Grand Final; Wigan will face the Catalans Dragons at Old Trafford in the final on Saturday October 14.

A hat-trick from Liam Marshall on his 150th appearance for Wigan Warriors took the League Leaders’ Shield winners into the Betfred Super League grand final with a 42-12 home win over Hull Kingston Rovers in Saturday’s semi-final.

Two tries from Marshall and one from Jai Field in the opening 11 minutes gave Wigan the upper hand early on at the DW Stadium, but Hull KR came back into the contest and reduced the deficit to 18-6 at half-time thanks to Elliot Minchella’s converted score.

Winger Marshall restored the 18-point lead 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 top try scorer in 2023 , Abbas Miski, left no way back for the Betfred Challenge Cup finalists, who got 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, the Catalans Dragons, providing the opposition as the Warriors aim to win the Super League title for the first time since 2018. .
