Wigan Warriors claimed a convincing 40-8 victory over Leeds Rhinos in a Super League match, bringing them closer to securing the League Leaders' Shield. Wigan’s win was powered by five tries from Keighran, Daniel, Marshall, French, and Field, along with goals from Keighran. Leeds managed to score two tries, both from Handley, and a goal from Connor. This win marks Wigan’s 14th consecutive Super League victory, showcasing their dominance in the competition.
The victory positions Wigan to potentially claim their second piece of silverware this year if they match Leeds’ result in the final regular-season game on Friday. Leeds, who have held the top spot since May, are aiming for their first silverware since 2020 and their first Super League title since 2015. The Rhinos have been striving to reclaim their former glory, but Wigan’s recent form has been formidable.
Wigan has been on a dominant run since the summer, following a Challenge Cup final win over Hull KR over three months ago. However, the match saw some setbacks for Leeds, as their top try scorer, Maika Sivo, was absent due to a recent broken arm. Full-back Lachie Miller also left the field early with an injury, prompting changes in Leeds’ lineup. Wigan took advantage of this reshuffling, with sharp handling from Bevan French and Keighran leading to tries from Austin Daniel and Keighran.
Leeds responded with a try from Handley, but Wigan quickly extended their lead with additional tries from French, Jai Field, and Keighran, who completed a hat-trick. The game highlighted Wigan’s superior performance and control, reinforcing their position as the top team in the Super League. With the final game of the regular season approaching, the race for silverware is heating up.
