Wigan restored their two-point advantage at the top of Super League following a 36-22 victory on the road at Castleford Tigers.
Amos Roberts claimed his first career hat-trick for the impressive Warriors in an entertaining encounter at The Jungle.
Pat Richards also notched a try and four goals, while Joel Tomkins (2) and Cameron Phelps were also on the scoresheet in a seven-try victory.
But Wigan didn't have things all their own way as the Tigers made a match of it with two first-half tries from Michael Shenton and further touchdowns from Michael Wainwright and Michael Cooper after the interval.
Elsewhere, Salford failed to follow up last weekend's win at Harlequins with another positive result after going down 36-6 at Wakefield.
Tries from Daryl Millard, Tevita Leo-Latu, Glenn Morrison, Dale Ferguson and Aaron Murphy helped the Wildcats surge into a 28-0 half-time lead.
The Reds improved in the second half but they were no match for the rampant home side who ran out comfortable winners.
