Leigh Leopards head coach Adrian Lam has confirmed his team reached the Super League playoffs following a 48-10 win over St Helens. The result guarantees the club a top-six finish for the fourth consecutive season since returning to the top flight in 2022. Despite facing a string of injuries to key players including Tesi Niu, Keanan Brand, and Bailey Hodgson, the club has managed to win 12 of their last 15 matches. Leigh Leopards currently sit just behind Wakefield Trinity in the standings. They head into their final regular season match this Friday with the potential to move up the table should they secure a victory by a margin of 28 points or more. Lam has remained cautious, emphasizing a need for a full 80-minute performance against their upcoming opponents.
