Wigan clinical in win over Leeds as Leigh clinch third in Super League

1 hour ago 1

Wigan Warriors put in a clinical showing as they pulled off a 22-6 win over Leeds Rhinos in their Betfred Super League clash at The Brick Community Stadium.

It was Wigan who were on top at the half-time interval, converted tries from Abbas Miski and Bevan French putting the home team 12-0 ahead.

They then went on to stretch their lead in some fashion with second scores for French and Miski plus an effort from Jake Wardle making it 22-0.

Leeds replied through a consolation try for Chris Hankinson but the defeat consigned them to a fourth-placed finish.
