Hull KR held off a determined Wigan fightback to win for the second time at the JJB Stadium this season.

Luke Dyer and Ian Hardman both went over in the final 10 minutes of the first half to give the visitors a 10-0 lead at the break.

Trent Barrett cut the gap with a try, converted by Pat Richards, before Paul Cooke kicked a penalty for Hull KR.

Richards went over again 10 minutes from time but his conversion hit the post, which ultimately proved crucial.
