Squad: David Armstrong, Darnell McIntosh, Tesi Niu, Umyla Hanley, Josh Charnley, Gaz O’Brien, Lachlan Lam, Owen Trout, Edwin Ipape, Robbie Mulhern, Jack Hughes, Isaac Liu, Alec Tuitavake, Matt Davis, Brad Dwyer, Louis Brogan, Ethan O’Neill, Andrew Badrock, Ben McNamara, Bailey Hodgson, Joe Ofahengaue
Wigan Warriors vs Leigh Leopards Prediction
This should be an entirely different encounter to the one we saw to kick-start the 2025 Super League season. Not only will Michael Buffer be missing from the pre-game festivities, we are expected to see a significantly higher number of points scored here than the single golden point we saw in that last meeting that ended in delight for Leigh Leopards.
Wigan Warriors have since really settled down as a unit, regaining the attacking formula that saw them dominate last season and this should be on show. On a run of five straight wins with a combined total of 164 points scored, an average of over 30 points per game, it would be a surprise if Matt Peet’s side didn’t get the better of the Leopards this time around.
