Wigan Warriors secured a club-record 12th consecutive victory with a 26-12 win over Wakefield Trinity at the Brick Community Stadium, moving them to the top of the Betfred Super League table. Matt Peet's side capitalized on handling errors to build a 20-point half-time lead before Jai Field's interception try sealed the result. Peet praised his team's resilience despite a sloppy second half.

Wakefield suffered their fourth straight defeat, with head coach Daryl Powell criticizing officiating decisions. The visitors were denied an early try and remained competitive until Field's length-of-field score dashed their hopes. Ky Rodwell's late try made the scoreline more respectable.

In the other fixture, Leigh Leopards continued their play-off charge with a crushing 62-10 victory over Bradford Bulls. Adam Cook amassed 30 points — converting all 11 kicks and scoring two tries — as Leigh piled on 48 second-half points. The win marks Leigh's fourth straight, including last week's upset over Leeds Rhinos.

Coach Adrian Lam highlighted Cook's perfect kicking and the team's confidence. Bradford, now bottom of the table, remained competitive for 40 minutes but collapsed in the second half due to injuries and defensive lapses. Coach Kurt Haggerty vowed his side would keep fighting with three games remaining.
