ABBAS Miski ran in a second-half hat-trick as Wigan bounced back from their Challenge Cup semi-final heartbreak with a dominant 44-18 Betfred Super League win over Leigh.
The Warriors, beaten 11-10 by Hull KR last weekend, led 16-6 after a closely-contested first half before seizing control after the break.
The Leopards took the lead after 12 minutes, with Tom Amone stepping his way over, but Wigan hit back through Bevan French to level five minutes later.
There was not a lot between the two teams and they looked on course to go in at half-time all square, but Wigan had other ideas, with Toby King getting a fortunate try before French grabbed his second.
Wigan then dominated after the break, scoring five more tries.
Miski helped himself to a hat-trick, including an 80-metre interception, while Tyler Dupree grabbed a debut try and Liam Marshall also went over in a convincing performance.
Leigh scored the first points of the game in the 12th minute with a try from nothing.
