Shaun Wane admitted that Wigan were beaten by the better team after their 30-16 loss to Hull FC on Friday night.
First half tries from Marc Sneyd and Steve Michaels had given the visitors a 14 point advantage at half-time and despite a fightback in the second-half, Hull FC hit back with two tries in three minutes to secure an impressive away win for Lee Radford's side.
"We started poor, we got out-muscled and they ran a bit harder than us," said Wane told Sky Sports.
"They're far bigger than us, we're a detailed team and our detail wasn't there and because of that we gave penalties away.
"I'm disappointed with our performance. We had a chance to get back into the game in the second half and we just threw it away. We didn't give ourselves a chance to win.
"We got what we deserved. I wish they had beat us by more because we were miles off."
Radford was delighted with the win and pleased that his side reacted well to Wigan's second half fightback.
"We knew we had to be right on our game to get anything out of tonight and thankfully we were," said Radford,
"In the second half we were a bit reserved in how we were playing. We went into our shell and it worked against us - it always does when you play a team like that.
"They've [Wigan] been an unbelievably successful club over the last five or six years and you could see why. I thought John Bateman for them was absolutely outstanding tonight.
"We just got to make sure we don't get carried away, stay grounded and keep working hard. That's what got us the results we have."
