WARRINGTON Wolves fell to a fourth straight loss at Wigan Warriors and their battle from the threat of relegation continues.
The Wire led at half-time thanks to Ben Currie's try converted by Stefan Ratchford.
But they conceded with the final play of the first half as Sam Halsall crossed, leaving it at 4-6.
A contested try by Jake Bibby, converted by Harry Smith, handed Wigan the lead three minutes into the second half.
Then a scruffy offload from Patrick Mago hands Liam Marshall the first of a hat-trick of tries.
Two tries from high kicks, with first Thewlis and then Wrench beaten in the air, saw Marshall complete a 14-minute hat-trick.
Warrington had four missed chances across both halves which were not taken but could have changed the game had they been finished off.
