  1. try

    TRY: Leeds 20-0 Wiganpublished at 39 mins

    Tom Briscoe

    Leeds' rout continues!

    Tom Briscoe crosses at the corner but the plaudits must go to Konrad Hurrell who tees him up with an inspired offload.

    Is that the try that sends Leeds through to the final? To say Wigan have looked off the pace is an understatement.

  2. NO TRYpublished at 38 mins

    Leeds 16-0 Wigan

    Leeds look to in again, this time through Alex Mellor but Tommy Leuluai gets a last-gasp fingertip to it.

    Video referee Ben Thaler takes a long look at it and judges a goal-line drop-out and judges that Mellor didn't get to it in time.

    Leeds 16-0 Wigan

    Joe Bullock spills the ball from a Tommy Leuluai hand off and that just about sums up Wigan's half.

    Leeds win the ball back. Again.

    "That was a crucial try. I always thought they needed more than 10 point with the domination that they have had.

    "What a half by Leeds."

    Ash Handley extends Leeds' advantage over Wigan

    Liam Sutcliffe tips a high kick behind him as Leeds capitalise on a frozen Wigan defensive line.

    Ash Handley then collects it and touches it down but referee Chris Kendall takes it to video referee Ben Thaler having initially given a try.

    Thaler sees no issue and suddenly Leeds look to have a pretty controlling lead heading into the break as Rhyse Martin adds the two.

    Leeds 10-0 Wigan

    Luke Gale's kicking game continues to impress. Once again he buys Leeds some territory with a long-range kick.

    No sooner do Wigan try to march anywhere near halfway, Gale pegs them back again.

    Ethan Havard is off for Wigan and is being assessed for a knock to his ankle.

    Not good news for Adrian Lam.

    Leeds look absolutely dominant right now and Wigan are desperately short of answers.

    Adrian Lam's side have been pegged in their own half for pretty much the entire game and are showing few signs of breaking upfield.

  9. ouch!

    Leeds 10-0 Wigan

    Just looking at that Bevan French collision again, he appears to take a bang on the head from the knee of the onrushing Richie Myler.

    Not intentional from Myler as it came during an honest challenge, but he'll feel that tonight.

    French plays on. Made of strong stuff!

    Leeds 10-0 Wigan

    Rhyse Martin is having the half of his life.

    He forces Wigan into conceding a goalline drop out as he puts them under pressure from a crossfield kick and Leeds have possession deep in Wigan's half again.

    Bevan French eventually collects the ball from Luke Gale's grubber kick to calm it down for Wigan.

    "Leeds have been near perfect. They have controlled field position and taken their points."

  12. PENALTY: Leeds 10-0 Wiganpublished at 23 mins

    Rhyse Martin

    That's a try and two goals for Rhyse Martin and we're just past 20 minutes in this match.

    Leeds bolster their lead and they look good value for it.

    Leeds 8-0 Wigan

    Leeds are attacking the right hand half of the field at the minute and, given how fortunate they've been with their kicking so far, it would appear they have the wind on their side.

    That being said, Wigan look defensively weak right now and are struggling to deal with Leeds who look comfortable on the break.

    Rhyse Martin again with the points for Leeds!

    Following that colossal 40-20 from Luke Gale, Leeds pounce on the chance to change the game and Martin touches down moments later.

    He converts his own kick with ease, too. A cracking few minutes for him so far.

  15. ouch!

    Leeds 2-0 Wigan

    Richie Myler picks up the ball deep in Leeds' half and aims to find a pathway through but he runs straight into the brick wall of Bevan French.

    Fortunately for the Rhinos, Luke Gale kicks a monster of a 40-20 and suddenly Leeds are camped in Wigan's 10.

    That is a sensational kick in these conditions.

    Rhyse Martin

    Rhyse Martin kicks the first points of the match for Leeds as they win a penalty from a fair bit of distance.

    They opt for the two, which given the rain, might not have been the worst idea.

    Incidentally, some of the television cameras are just as saturated as the players at the minute due to the conditions!

    Might make video referee Ben Thaler's job a bit harder if he's called into action in this one!

    Leeds 0-0 Wigan

    What was that I said about the conditions? Mikolaj Oledzki looks to power his way across the line for Leeds on the fifth tackle.

    As he's brought to ground, the crowd of bodies slide along and into the post.

    Eventually the ball is offloaded towards Richie Myler at the corner but he can't quite run in before the ball goes in to touch.

    Leeds 0-0 Wigan

    These two teams are growing into this game now and are trying to pounce on anything they can.

    Kruise Leeming is judged to have been dragged into touch for Leeds as they break upfield and Wigan win the ball back.

    But captain Sean O'Loughlin loses the ball moments later.
