Warriors coach Brian Noble's own position has been under scrutiny while Gareth Hock faces the prospect of a two-year ban after testing positive for cocaine, but they put all that aside and came out on top against Rovers.

Having gone in at the interval trailing 16-14 following an early double from Peter Fox, 16 unanswered points after the break for Wigan looked to have put the game beyond doubt.

Late scores from Daniel Fitzhenry and Jake Webster closed the gap to just two points making for a nervy finish - but Wigan held on and Pat Richards' try and conversion two minutes from time sealed it.

Danny Brough converted Scott Grix's last-minute try to hand Wakefield a 20-18 victory in a thrilling clash against play-off rivals Harlequins.

The Londoners looked to have secured victory with second-half scores from Luke Gale and Chad Randall to add to an earlier touchdown from Danny Orr.

Yet the Wildcats refused to surrender and Grix dived over in the right corner to add to first-half tries from Oliver Wilkes and Tony Martin before Brough had the final say with his fourth goal of the game.

Hull missed the chance to leapfrog revival club Warrington in seventh spot in engage Super League as they slipped to a 24-12 defeat at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

The sides were level at 6-6 at the break but the Wolves ran in three tries in 10 minutes after the interval to make it five wins in their last six league matches.

Chris Riley, Paul Wood, Matt King and Ben Harrison crossed for the hosts with Jodie Broughton and Kirk Yeaman going over for the visitors.
