Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
Three early tries had Wigan cruising in this semi-final, but Elliot Minchella has given Hull KR hope after clawing one back for the visitors.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
Wigan fail to make the most of the chance, as Bevan French launches a pass straight into the face of Toby King.
King didn't know much about it, as French had eyes for Abbas Miski on the outside. It obviously never made it that far and Hull KR will breathe a sigh of relief just before the break.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
Another handling error from Hull KR hands Wigan possession deep in their own half.
This will be an attack they need to repel.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
Bevan French has the Wigan supporters on the their feet as he tries to step into space on the right.
He is brought down then on the last tackle, Harry Smith switches play to the left with another of those cross-field kicks.
Hull KR, however, are untroubled by it.

Hull KR have no time to think.
It's the little efforts and kick chases that allows Wigan to afford to be aggressive.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
And the chance is thrown away.
Jack Walker is clatter in a tackle and knocks on. What a missed opportunity for the Robins so late in the half.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
Hull KR really have been transformed by that try after going 18-0 down early on.
They have back-to-back sets close to the line... No make that three back-to-back sets after Brad O'Neill comes over the top with needless attempt to wrap up a tackle for Wigan.
Hull KR have been gifted a big chance, it seems.

Referee Liam Moore has a word with both captains and gives them a telling off. It's no more than that, and we are up running again after that pause.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
And Harry Smith fumbles the ball and the chance is gone for Wigan.
Mikey Lewis grabs hold of Smith's shirt and swings him to the ground.
Smith's team-mates don't like it and they rush in and it turns into a push and shove match.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
Wigan have themselves back-to-back sets inside Hull KR's 10.
Harry Smith send his cross-field kick high and into the sun. Hull KR get a hand to it, but can't keep it.
Hull KR will be defending for their lives now.
Wigan 18-6 Hull KR
Brad Schneider sends up another high ball on the last tackle.
His team-mates look rejuvenated after that try and they are quick to get up in the chase.
Louis Senior, however, goes in high with the tackle and gives away yet another penalty.
Wigan kick to touch and have been let off the hook, you feel.

Nick Pinkney
BBC Radio Humberside Summariser
It's amazing how games can turn around and that we write teams off a little too quickly.
They need to stick in this. It's the discipline that's let themselves down but they can pick themselves up and this can give them the energy they need to do that.
Elliott Minchella, goal Brad Schneider
Hull KR needed this!
Just seconds after it seemed that the Robins had blown their chance of grabbing a try, they get the ball back when Abbas Miski drops it in a tackle.
Hull KR keep their heads and Elliott Minchella is there to finish from close range.
From right in front of the sticks, Brad Schneider lands the conversion.
Wigan 18-0 Hull KR
And it's so nearly a fourth score for Wigan.
The line is begging but the Wigan man fumbles it.
Wigan 18-0 Hull KR
All composure has left Hull KR, it seems.
They gift Wigan possession by trying to force a pass and the Warriors will fancy scoring a fourth try now they have the ball in good field position.
Wigan 18-0 Hull KR
Brad Schneider comes up with Hull KR's first bright moment of the game.
He crashes through Wigan's defensive line and has space to exploit for a moment.
But he stumbles and is wrapped up in a tackle.
The set ends with a up-and-under kick that is knocked into touch. It came off a Hull KR hand last, so the visitors aren't able to keep the pressure on.
Wigan 18-0 Hull KR
For the first time today, Wigan's Abbas Miski is asked a question by Hull KR under a high ball.
The winger keeps his nerve and collects with ease.
Wigan are brimming with confidence right now.
Wigan 18-0 Hull KR
Hull KR restart play and the kick is out on the full.
Everything seems to be going wrong for the Robins right now.

Leigh winger on BBC Radio Manchester
Liam Marshall is one of those players you need to keep an eye on as he's that fast, as soon as you blink he's gone.
I didn't think it would look as easy as Wigan have made it. Hull KR are a physical side but it looks like men against boys at the minute.
Wigan are in the right mindset and they're getting the job done.
Liam Marshall, goal Harry Smith
Wigan are smashing it right now!
Liam Marshall dives over for his second try of the game and Wigan's third in 12 minutes.
Marshall had plenty to do when taking the ball out wide on the left.
He steps inside, spots a gap and motors over.
Harry Smith adds the extras again and the Warriors are cruising.
