The main event of Headingley’s doubleheader pits the Wigan Warriors who lost the 2020 Super League Grand Final up against the newly promoted Leigh Centurions in the Wigan-Leigh Derby. Both sides have multiple recruits that are looking to light it up for their new club, with Jai Field making his Super League debut and John Bateman returning from the NRL for Wigan, and the likes of Blake Wallace, James Bell and Nathan Peats debuting for Leigh.
