Leeds Rhinos kept their play-off bid alive by battering an out-of-sorts Wigan Warriors, who fell to a third Super League defeat in five games.
Wigan, playing for the second time this week after the win over Leigh on Tuesday, struggled for any fluency in attack or intent in defence and fell further behind when Lachlan Miller touched down in the corner to extend before James McDonnell went over to finish an end-to-end attack and put the result beyond doubt.
The Warriors would have gone back to the top of Super League with a victory at Headingley but must now look to pick themselves up before playing rivals St Helens next Saturday at Magic Weekend.Third game in 10 days proves match too far for Wigan Newman touched down after the home side quickly built up an attack from their own half and Miller played him in.
