Progress With Unity Stadium, Friday
LEIGH powered into the Super League semi-finals for the second year running with a commanding victory over Wakefield.
The Leopards delivered an almost flawless performance, smothering a struggling Trinity side that rarely threatened in the final third. Leigh’s commanding 18-0 half-time lead proved insurmountable for a Wakefield team starved of possession.
“That is as good as we’ve played all year,” said their coach Adrian Lam.
“I am grateful because it was the most important game so far.
“We were near perfect in the first half with our completion rate and discipline. We started really well and I just loved everything about what we did.
“We had a pretty simple game plan; we stripped it right back so there wasn’t too much to focus on.”
