Defending Super League champions Wigan Warriors obliterated Leigh Leopards 38-0 at the Brick Community Stadium to reach the 2024 Grand Final in merciless fashion. Sam Walters (2), Liam Marshall (2), Bevan French and Jai Field all went over for Matt Peet 's side, who take on Hull Kingston Rovers at Old Trafford next weekend following the Robins' 10-8 victory over Warrington Wolves in Friday's first semi-final Underlining their status as the bookies' favourites to retain their Super League crown, the League Leaders' Shield winners blew the Leopards to smithereens in a first-half whitewash, where Liam Marshall had the freedom of the left flank. Boasting an unrivalled 27 tries for the 2024 season before Saturday's semi, the league's top scorer needed just 10 minutes to cross the line at the Brick Community Stadium, with the Leopards' defence completely exposed as the 28-year-old had acres of space to dive through.
As expected, the Warriors continued to overwhelm the Leopards after breaking the deadlock and reached double figures with 19 minutes on the board, as Sam Walters shot out his right arm to ground the ball with two black shirts doing their utmost to stop him. "Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!" A try for the ages from Bevan French as he produces some magic out of nothing!! #SkySportsRL pic.twitter.
