Women's Super League round-up: Wigan's first home win over Leeds

Wigan Warriors defeated Leeds Rhinos 30-16 in the Women's Super League, securing their first-ever home win against Leeds and restoring a three-point lead at the top of the table. Sisters Shaniah and Tiana Power scored within the opening six minutes, with Tiana crossing in the first minute and Shaniah adding a second shortly after. Despite Leeds' pressure, Wigan extended their lead through tries from Molly Jones and Mia-Jayne Atherton, though Lucy Murray's try gave Leeds a foothold before halftime. Eva Hunter scored her 13th try of the season to become the competition's top try-scorer, Grace Banks added her 12th, and Isobel Rowe kicked three conversions, with late tries from Izzy Northrop and Bethan Dainton sealing the win.

Leeds retained a three-point cushion in the race for the top four play-off spots despite the loss, as Huddersfield Giants were defeated 26-6 by York Valkyrie. York took control with tries from Emma Kershaw, Agnes Wood, and Ellie Williamson, plus a conversion from Jas Bell, but Huddersfield fought back with a try from Eva Izumi and extras from Sam Hulme before halftime. York held firm in a tight second half, capitalizing on a sin-bin for Rhiannion Marshall, and secured the win with late tries from Peace Lekuru and Bell, both converted by Marshall.

St Helens were awarded a 48-0 victory after Warrington Wolves forfeited their scheduled match due to player availability issues. This result keeps St Helens in second place, while the RFL Board will determine if Warrington, who had lost their previous eight games, faces further sanctions.

Barrow Raiders beat Leigh Leopards 16-10, with Nicole Stewart celebrating her call-up to Scotland's historic first Test match against Wales by scoring two tries and converting both. Stewart opened the scoring in the first minute, and after Leigh responded with tries from Mackenzie Taylor and Kate Howard (converted by Charlotte Melvin), Stewart added another six points before Vanessa Temple sealed the win. The victory moved Barrow into sixth place, leapfrogging Leigh.
