Wigan Warriors dominate Leeds Rhinos but still need to win their final Super League game to secure the League Leaders' Shield.
Wigan Warriors remain in pole position to win the League Leaders' Shield after brushing aside Leeds Rhinos with a seven-try show.
Leeds were rarely in the contest, and the only way they can nail a top-six place is by hoping rivals lose and they win away next week against Hull KR, the only team who can still catch Wigan. The first was quite stunning. For once, the influential Harry Smith’s kick to the flank was slightly overhit but winger Marshall showed balletic qualities to leap over the touchline and somehow flipped the ball back over his head for Wardle, who produced a diving one-handed finish tight in the corner.
Just before half-time, Wardle returned Marshall’s earlier favour with a lovely flipped pass to give the competition’s leading try scorer his 25th of the campaign. Keighran added to the rout by grabbing Smith’ dainty lob to go over, and French was the beneficiary of another assist from his half-back partner's boot for his second try of the night in the closing minutes.Wigan Warriors' Kaide Ellis is congratulated by team-mate Liam Byrne on scoring his first try of the season“We will always look at the areas where we can improve and what we’ve learned from the game, even from the things we did well.
