Toby Sexton's boot proved the difference as Catalans Dragons snapped a losing streak with a gritty 22-16 victory over a struggling Leigh Leopards side. The half-back kicked two penalties and three conversions to secure the win, condemning Adrian Lam's men to a third defeat in four games following last week's heavy loss to Wigan. Leigh's early lead evaporated, and their new campaign continues to falter.

In the night's other fixture, Warrington Wolves maintained their unbeaten start to the season but were made to sweat in a chaotic 38-30 win at York. The Wire built a 16-point lead only for the promoted Knights to surge ahead before half-time. Sam Stone and Josh Thewlis each scored twice for Warrington, whose attacking firepower ultimately overcame York's brave revival.

These results paint contrasting pictures. For Leigh, questions mount after a playoff campaign last season has turned into a slow start, with defensive frailties again exposed. Warrington, meanwhile, show resilience to grind out wins even when not at their best, a vital trait for a genuine contender. York's performance signals they will not be an easy pushover in the top flight.
