Wigan rise to occasion against Hull KR as town unites to remember Sir Billy Boston

• Super League: Wigan Warriors 46-0 Hull KR

• Liam Marshall bags hat-trick of tries in rout

On the night when Wigan Warriors celebrated one of their greatest entertainers, perhaps it was fitting that Matt Peet’s class of 2026 produced a performance Sir Billy Boston would have been proud of on their charge, potentially, towards another Super League title.

There are some nights where the result is dwarfed by the occasion. Where sport, in truth, comes second. This was undoubtedly one of those, as what felt like the entirety of this town where rugby league is more akin to a religion than it is a pastime came together in grief to remember the life and career of their most cherished adopted son.
