The 2022 semi-finalists booked a return to the last four with a 28-10 home victory over the Red Devils on Saturday.

Rovers are targeting a first return to Wembley since 2015.

Wigan's grip on the trophy appeared to be slipping after losing Kaide Ellis to a red card in the early stages of Sunday's quarter-final against Warrington Wolves but they produced a heroic performance to claim a memorable 14-12 win at the DW Stadium.
