Reigning champions Wigan Warriors cruised to a dominant 38-0 victory over local rivals Leigh Leopards to book their place in the Super League Grand Final.
Wigan were clinical in the first half and pounced on every Leigh error, a Liam Marshall double, a Sam Walters effort, plus two conversions and a penalty from Adam Keighran giving the home outfit a solid 18-0 lead at the break, leaving the visitors with everything to do.
The Warriors quickly made the mountain too big for the Leopards to climb then rubbed salt in the wound in the second half, Walters’ second, a Keighran penalty, and sensational Bevan French and Jai Field individual efforts cementing a dominant 38-0 victory.
Upon reflection, Leigh will rue an error-strewn performance, Wigan’s play-off experience proving too much to handle for Adrian Lam’s side.
