Wigan Warriors Win League Leaders Shield With Close Victory Over Leigh LeopardsThe final day of the season mathematics were not simple, either at the top of the table, or for the play off places.
SKY chose to send their cameras to the Leigh Sports Village where the Leopards hoped to spoil the party for their near neighbours and seal them a loss which could see them end the night in third spot.
Wigans superior points difference meant that so long as they beat Leigh by a point, and Catalans won by less than sixty-eight, and Saints won by less than one hundred and forty-one, then it would be the Warriors getting crowned as minor premiers by ten o'clock.
A loss and wins for Catalans and the Saints would drop them down into the spots for next week's play-off games and throw away the luxury of a week off.
Leigh were also looking over their shoulders and knew that a heavy loss could open the doors for Hull KR to take fourth and a home game next weekend.
