Leigh Leopards entered the top six for the first time this season following their win over Warrington Wolves, with Adrian Lam’s side having won eight from their last nine games.
It has been a remarkable season turnaround from the Leopards, who had lost six from their first seven league games at the start of 2024 due to an injury-ravaged first couple of months.
And Leigh looked to last year for inspiration to keep that belief and confidence within their camp that they could turn their fortunes around, according to forward Matt Davis, with Leigh having won 15 from 17 games in their run up to their Challenge Cup final appearance at Wembley in 2023.
Leigh’s only defeats during that period last year came against Catalans Dragons and Wigan Warriors: and they’d won nine games in a row across all competitions from April 16 to June 18, 2023.
And, speaking exclusively to Love Rugby League after Leigh’s 16-12 win over Warrington on Friday night, Davis revealed they used last year’s impressive stats for inspiration towards the back end of this season, with the Leopards currently sixth in the Super League ladder and on track to make the play-offs with just three games of the regular season remaining.
