Wigan extended their winning streak to ten matches across all competitions by defeating the Leigh Leopards in a compelling contest. Despite Leigh controlling the first thirty minutes and holding a lead at halftime, their inability to maintain discipline resulted in a self-inflicted loss at Leigh Sports Village. Wigan seized control with four consecutive tries from Jai Field, Bevan French, Zach Eckersley, and Noah Hodkinson during a decisive 22-minute window.
Leigh initially took the lead following an Adam Cook penalty and a 13th-minute try from Innes Senior, assisted by Andy Badrock. However, the momentum shifted just before halftime when Wigan fullback Jai Field sprinted 80 meters to score after capitalizing on a lapse in the Leigh defense. The Leopards’ struggles continued into the second half, with unforced errors from Jack Hughes, Lazarus Vaalepu, and Owen Trout directly leading to Wigan scores. Harry Smith added two goals for the visitors, who successfully defended their lead to secure the victory. This outcome moves Wigan into second place in the Super League table, while Leigh falls to fifth after their five-game winning streak was snapped.
