Early Dominance Sets the Tone
Armstrong and Lam’s early breakthrough tries proved decisive in shifting momentum firmly in Leigh’s favour.

Collective Effort Delivers Results
The victory reflected contributions across the Leigh squad, with Joe Ofahengaue, Umyla Hanley, Josh Charnley, Toby King, Leon Hayes, and Albert Hopoate all playing their part in the team’s sustained performance. Referee Marcus Griffiths oversaw proceedings as both teams competed in what proved to be a showcase of the Super League’s competitive nature.
Leigh’s fifth consecutive win represents a significant statement of intent in their campaign, with the club now positioned prominently in the playoff picture. The Leopards demonstrated they possess the attacking prowess and defensive discipline required to compete with established Super League sides, building on their recent upward trajectory with another assured display.
