Wigan Warriors secure Super League Grand Final spot with 18-6 win over Leigh Leopards in play-off semi-finals | Rugby League News
Wigan Warriors booked a spot in the Super League Grand Final with an 18-6 victory over neighbours Leigh Leopards at The Brick Community Stadium.
Wigan had a healthy 14-6 half-time lead through a converted Bevan French double plus Adam Keighran penalty, Leigh’s points coming through Robbie Mulhern and Gareth O’Brien as they had 40 minutes to make up the eight-point deficit.
The home outfit then spent the second half holding onto that lead, their terrific defence keeping Leigh out in front of an 18,523 crowd right until the final hooter as a French pass sent Sam Walters over with the home fans celebrating once again.
The victory puts Wigan on the hunt for their third Grand Final victory in a row after being crowned winners in 2023 and picking up a historic quadruple in 2024.

Bailey Hodgson attempted to make a darting run, but was tackled and punished, with Bevan French grabbing the opening try of the semi-final for Wigan Warriors.
If they were to make it three in a row, they would join just Leeds Rhinos and St Helens in having completed that feat.
Wigan will now face either Hull KR or rivals St Helens, who face off in the second semi-final on Saturday October 4 live on Sky Sports+ from 5pm.
