Hull KR 6 Wigan Warriors 84: Harsh lesson is handed out to Rovers by Wigan

But the Rovers chief insisted his players will learn from being run ragged by a rampant Wigan side, who only conceded a try to Craig Hall late in the first half.

Blake Green scored a hat-trick against his former club and Pat Richards contributed 28 points.

The winger was one of three Warriors players to score two tries, along with Iain Thornley and Chris Tuson, while there were also scores for Josh Charnley – another former Robin – Jack Hughes, Matty Smith, Sam Powell and Liam Farrell.

“Everything that could have gone right went right for Wigan and everything that could go wrong for us went wrong,” said Sandercock.

“The boys will learn a massive lesson in how to play rugby league. They named a full strength backline and we knew it would be tough. Everything they did turned to gold.

“We are extremely disappointed but we won’t be letting this linger. We are extremely disappointed for our supporters.”

Remarkably, Wigan coach Shaun Wane was still not completely happy despite his side racking up their biggest win of the Super League era.

Wane was disappointed not to have kept Rovers scoreless in one of Super League’s most one-sided matches.

“Sometimes that happens, when everything just goes right,” said Wane.

“I was pleased with our attack, but I didn’t know this was a record score. It was a great win and we scored some great tries.

“I’m disappointed to concede the six points.

“I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but I was gutted we didn’t concentrate for their try.”

Wane felt a good performance was in the offing after Wigan’s early-morning team meeting, having opted to stay overnight in Hull beforehand.

“We looked after the players to make sure they were in good nick,” he said.

“It’s down to the mentality of the players and how they approach the game and that was outstanding. It’s pleasing to get this result coming on the back of the St Helens win.

“I knew we were in the zone and I could tell in our team meeting that the players were in a good place.”
