Leeds Rhinos edged an exhilarating top-of-the-table conflict in opposition to Wakefield Trinity 24-22 to go 4 factors clear in Tremendous League.
A sell-out crowd at DIY Kitchens Stadium had been royally entertained as the highest two served up a match worthy of a Grand Remaining, but it surely was the Rhinos followers who had been celebrating on the demise.
Regardless of trailing for the all however three minutes of the competition, Leeds held their nerve to land a sucker punch with two moments of ability from the boot of Jake Connor to grab a late victory.
With 77 minutes on the clock Connor’s grubber kick was pounced on by Chris Hankinson to stage the scores at 22-22. Connor then held his nerve to kick the extras from 5 yards contained in the touchline.
