Wigan crush Leeds to move closer to winning shield
Wigan Warriors move within touching distance of winning the League Leaders' Shield after a superb victory at closest rivals Leeds Rhinos.
Wigan Warriors defeated Leeds Rhinos 40-8 in a thrilling Super League game at Headingley, moving two points clear at the top and closing in on the League Leaders Shield. The Warriors secured their 14th straight win, putting them in strong position to claim their second piece of silverware of the year if they replicate their performance in the final match against Catalans Dragons on Friday.
Two early tries from Adam Keighran put Wigan in control, and they maintained their lead through a series of tries from Bevan French, Jai Field, and Keighran's hat-trick. Leeds managed to score tries from Miller, Hall, Bird, Handley, Newman, Croft, and Connor, but it was not enough to challenge Wigan's dominance.
