With eight tries scored, the world champions condemned Leigh to their seventh loss in as many games.
This ‘Battle of the Borough’ versus their rivals was never really in doubt, as Wigan were still smarting from their Good Friday defeat to St Helens.
With his seventh try of the year, Liam Marshall and Ash Handley of Leeds were now level for first place in the scoring statistics.
The Warriors’ loss to the Saints also cost them props Tyler Dupree and Liam Byrne, who were both suspended for their antics during the game; still, Leigh’s only chance to score was squandered in a flurry of tries.
