Hull KR demolished a depleted Wigan Warriors side 62-4 in their final Super League fixture before the Challenge Cup final. Stand-off Mikey Lewis crossed for a first-half hat-trick inside 20 minutes as the Robins ran riot at home. The champions scored seven tries before the break, with Tom Davies, Jez Litten and Rhyse Martin also touching down.

Wigan head coach Matt Peet rested his entire first-team squad ahead of the Wembley showdown, fielding 10 debutants including 19-year-old captain Taylor Kerr. The visitors managed just Nathan Lowe's long-range effort after the restart, conceding over 60 points for the first time since April 2016. Despite the youthful lineup, the Rugby Football League confirmed no operational rule breaches occurred.

The victory lifted Hull KR to second place in Super League on points difference, sitting just two points behind leaders St Helens. Willie Peters' side extended their winning run to eight matches across league and cup competitions following a slow start. Wigan remain sixth after their fifth league defeat of the campaign.

Peters praised his team's clinical first-half performance while acknowledging Wigan's young players showed resilience after the break. Peet defended his selection strategy as the right approach for managing his squad ahead of the cup final. Hull KR face a potential injury concern with forward Dean Hadley limping off late in the second half.
