Jai Field has looked ahead to Thursday night’s Betfred Super League Round 7 clash against Leigh leopards.

The Warriors face the Leopards in the first Battle of the Borough meeting of the season at Leigh Sports Village on Thursday night, as Wigan look to make an immediate return to winning ways.

Reflecting on the Rivals Round defeat to St Helens, Field said: “It was a tough and physical Good Friday game like always and even though we didn’t get the result we wanted, it’s a learning curve moving forwards this week.”

On preparations ahead of the clash against Leigh Leopards, Field said: “We don’t get as much time on the ground with the short turnaround, but we had a good final session out there yesterday. It’s been more about revision and looking at the learnings we can take from Friday’s defeat into this one.”

On Leigh Leopards, Field added: “Leigh are a good side who play some good footy and we know that we must match the physicality.”

The Warriors will be backed by a strong number of travelling supporters at Leigh Sports Village, and on the fans, Field said: “The support all through the back of last year and into the start of this season has been unreal. We can’t fault how well our fans have travelled and when they are there in numbers it really does motivate you.”

Tickets for Thursday’s clash at Leigh Leopards remain on general sale from the DW Stadium Ticket Office and online HERE. Please note that there will be no on the day sales from Leigh Leopards.
