Leigh Leopards are hoping to continue the trend of improving season-on-season in 2026, and this year their sights will be set on finally reaching a Grand Final.<\/p>\n

After coming up short in the past two campaigns, losing to Wigan Warriors in the semi-finals on both occasions, the Leopards will be more motivated than ever to claim their spot at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

However, Super League is set to be one of the most competitive seasons we have ever seen, and there are plenty of teams who could realistically reach the play-offs.<\/p>\n

Of course, only six will end up making the finals, and as a minimum expectation, Leigh will be wanting to make the six again this year.<\/p>\n

Serious About Rugby League\u00a0asked fans earlier this week where they think the Leopards will finish this year, and many were confident that another home-semi final was incoming.<\/p>\n
