Leigh Centurions picked up a much-needed victory as they crusied past Halifax 40-6.
Neil Jukes’ side moved level with Widnes in the Qualifiers table, leaving everything up for grabs ahead of their clash with London next week.
The confidence-boosting win saw the Leythers improve as the game went on, although they were ahead 10-0 early on as James Clare and Ben Reynolds score.
Two Mitch Brown tries enhanced the lead before the break, with Mitch Cahalane’s response for Fax leaving the score 20-6 at half-time.
But Leigh found their stride in the second-half. James Clare and Harrison Hansen scored in quick precession before Brown completed his hat-trick and Gregg McNally got in on the act to add emphasis to the scoreline.
