First Half Wigan Blitz Overcomes the Leigh Leopards The long delayed, and now much anticipated, Round Two clash between the Wigan Warriors and Leigh Leopards was a special Tuesday night treat as the two sides played their re-scheduled early season fixture which had been postponed when Wigan successfully took part in the World Club Challenge in February.
Wigan were slight favourites with the bookies, and came into the game with a four-point handicap despite losing two of their last three outings, but they were up against a Leigh side who are unbeaten in their last four and who were certain to provide a stern challenge for the defending Champions.
A home win would see the Cherry and Whites two points clear at the top of the table, a win for the Leopards would lift them above the Rhinos and into seventh spot in the table, poised for a shot at the top six should those above them slip up over the closing rounds.
