Ofahengaue keeps Leopards in their spot

Leigh Leopards won this pulsating contest to solidify their position inside the top four and underline why they are a fraction ahead of Wakefield Trinity right now in Super League.

It felt like an afternoon for these two sides to showcase their Old Trafford credentials at the season's end, and both played their part in a thoroughly entertaining game which see-sawed until the final moments.

Leigh are now a bona fide top-six side and they look increasingly likely to be in the playoffs come the end of the summer.

Here, they had to do it tough, trailing until the final three minutes before Joe Ofahengaue's late try helped to secure a precious win.

"It's a difficult place to come up to and win," their coach, Adrian Lam, said. "It's a real important part of the season and some stupid things put us under pressure. But they showed a lot of courage at the end to get that win - these are the ones that could really count and determine where you finish."
