Leeds underlined their Super League title credentials as Chris Hankinson's converted try capped a thrilling comeback 24-22 win over Wakefield at a packed-out DIY Kitchens Stadium. Former Leeds half-back Jack Sinfield was outstanding against his former club, providing the assist for two of Wakefield's three tries in eight first-half minutes to put the hosts 16-0 ahead.\n\nSinfield then went over after half-time to put Wakefield 22-6 ahead, but the league leaders impressively went up a gear in the final half hour. James McDonnell and Cameron Smith struck with Sinfield off the pitch, and the momentum was with Leeds.

Hankinson sprung into action from a low kick from Jake Connor, who added his fourth conversion in the 78th minute to give his side the win. Leeds are now four points clear at the top of the table.\n\nElsewhere, Hull KR inflicted more woe on Castleford with an eight-try thrashing 44-0 at the One Bore Stadium. Tom Davies and Tyrone May each scored a brace.

Leigh Leopards boosted their play-off hopes with a 22-14 win over York Knights, with tries from Josh Charnley, Joe Ofahengaue, Andy Badrock, and David Armstrong.
