In a thrilling Super League opener, the Wigan Warriors, fresh off their grand final victory, have once again made headlines in the rugby league world.

However, this time it's not for the reasons they had hoped.

In a tense and gritty match, the Wigan Warriors suffered their first loss of the season to the Leigh Leopards in a nail-biting 1-0 defeat.

The game remained deadlocked at 0-0 until the end of regulation time, marking the first scoreless draw in the competition's 29-year history.

Both teams showed immense determination and resilience, refusing to back down on either side of the field.

It took three minutes into overtime for a breakthrough, with Gareth O'Brien nailing a drop-goal to secure the victory for the Leigh Leopards.

This historic win for Leigh marked their first triumph at Wigan since way back in 1983, a result that will surely go down in rugby league folklore.

The Wigan Warriors may have suffered a setback in their quest for back-to-back titles, but in the unpredictable world of rugby league, anything can happen.

With plenty of games left in the season, it's still anyone's game and the Warriors will no doubt be looking to bounce back stronger than ever with some classic Aussie grit.
