- Leeds Rhinos 6-19 Wigan Warriors
- Full-back’s brilliant try drives Warriors to victory
Zak Hardaker has certainly made a habit of stealing the headlines throughout his career. He would be the first to admit those headlines have not always been complimentary, largely due to his off-field misdemeanours. But on nights like these you cannot help but marvel at the supreme talent the divisive 29-year-old possesses.
This was another accomplished all-round display from Hardaker, on the ground where he made his name as a teenager and won the Super League man of steel award in 2015. But it is moments in big matches that define his career more than anything else, and how he delivered one of those here to help steer Wigan towards a third successive win to start the new season.
