Wigan 29-2 HullWigan score five tries in comprehensive victoryIn the end, this was simply a familiar result with a familiar feeling attached to it. Wigan will play in the Super League Grand Final for a record-equalling 11th time after eliminating Hull FC with a performance littered with the characteristics we have come to expect from them in recent years. Defensive grit? Check. Tries at key moments? Check. Big individual performances? Without question.
Yes, this play-off semi-final did perhaps swing on one moment in the first half but after that Wigan went through the gears. Hull, who had done so well to get to within a game of next Friday’s Grand Final, really had no answer.
