Two consecutive play-off finishes since their most recent promotion have seen Leigh Leopards establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in Super League, though that’s not always been the case.

Prior to 2023, they’d been relegated in each of their previous attempts at staying in Super League – experiencing the drop in 2005, 2017 and 2021.

Despite that, some stars of sides past under the ‘Centurions’ tagline still managed to get their name on the scoresheet often enough to break into the club’s all-time top try-scorers list in Super League.

Below, we run through that list, with play-off games included but not Qualifiers or the Million Pound Game they were involved in against Catalans Dragons in 2017.

Without further ado, here is the list of Leigh‘s top 10 try-scorers of all-time in Super League…
