Wigan secured their tenth consecutive win across all competitions, defeating Leigh 20-8 in the Battle of the Borough. The victory propelled Wigan to second place in the Betfred Super League standings.

Leigh dominated the early stages, leading at halftime, but a series of second-half errors proved costly. Wigan capitalized with tries from Jai Field, Bevan French, Zach Eckersley, and Noah Hodkinson within 22 minutes, securing a comeback win. This defeat ended Leigh's five-game winning streak, dropping them to fifth.

Field's breakaway try just before halftime, ignited by quick thinking and pace, was a pivotal moment. French scored early in the second half following a Leigh handling error. Eckersley then intercepted a pass and ran from halfway for a try, and Hodkinson sealed the win after another Leigh mistake. Wigan's defense held firm in the closing stages, with Harry Smith adding two conversions.
