Leigh Leopards Secure Super League Semi-Final Spot with 26-10 Win over Wakefield Trinity

Leigh Leopards secured their place in the Super League semi-finals with a commanding 26-10 victory over Wakefield Trinity in the play-off eliminator, continuing their strong form following a third-place finish in 2024. They dominated the first half with tries from Keanan Brand, Isaac Liu, and Josh Charnley, establishing an 18-0 lead that Wakefield struggled to overcome despite a second-half response. Wakefield, making a notable return to the Super League with 15 wins and 30 points in the season, showed promise but were ultimately unable to match Leigh's experience and composure in knockout play. Leigh will now face Wigan Warriors in the semi-finals, aiming for their first-ever Grand Final appearance. The match highlighted the gap in progress between the two clubs, with Leigh two years ahead in development, serving as a benchmark for Wakefield's future ambitions. Despite the defeat, Wakefield should take pride in their achievements and potential as they look ahead to building on this season's success.
