Wigan Warriors take a huge step towards retaining the League Leaders' Shield as they beat Super League title rivals Hull KR to go top.
Wigan Warriors took a huge step towards retaining the League Leaders' Shield as they beat Super League title rivals Hull KR to leapfrog the Robins to the top of the table.
Burgess' try stretched that cushion to 12 points but a Bevan French effort and Liam Marshall's double swung the game in Wigan's favour and sent them two points clear at the top with just two games of the regular season remaining. A high-tempo first half was turned on its head following an intelligent move from Wigan to get themselves out of their own half.
Miski dived in at the corner before Nsemba weaved through a hole in the visitors' defence to really get the hosts going - but Adam Keighran's wayward kicking meant the Robins still kept a slender lead while down to 12.
