Harry Smith sparked Wigan Warriors’ statement win at the Brick Community Stadium, guiding the side to a 24-4 demolition of Leeds Rhinos. Smith contributed to three of the four tries and added eight points from the boot, cementing his role in the club’s resurgence after a two‑game losing streak. The victory pushes Wigan up the Betfred Super League table and signals their title intent in front of a roaring home crowd.

The performance follows Wigan’s emphatic Challenge Cup triumph over St Helens, meaning they have now beaten the league’s top two sides in seven days. Scrum‑half Smith, who missed the previous two defeats through injury, steadied the team when Leeds pressed early, then orchestrated a try‑setting kick that saw Adam Keighran cross and Jack Farrimond finish in the corner during the second half of the match.

Maika Sivo capped the night with his 18th try, ensuring Leeds avoided a shut‑out while Wigan’s defence held firm. With the win, Wigan sit just behind league leaders, and Smith’s influence—three try assists and reliable goal‑kicking—places him among the season’s standout playmakers. The result cements Wigan’s momentum as the race for the Super League crown intensifies for the club’s supporters.
