  "account": "Leigh Leopards edged closer to the play-offs as they thrashed Bradford Bulls 62-10. The victory moved Leigh up to fifth in the Super League standings, just one win away from a top-six spot. Tries from Robbie Mulhern, Louis Brogan, Jacob Alick-Wiencke, Lachlan Lam, Adam Cook and Umyla Hanley all contributed to the large margin of victory. Leigh will host Trinity in the final round of the regular season on September 11 for a potential home play-off tie. Bradford, meanwhile, suffered their 10th defeat of the season and will likely finish at the bottom of the table, marking their first season back in Super League since 2014.",
