The hosts led 28-12 in the 69th minute after scoring 18 unanswered points at the start of the second half, before Leeds rallied with three tries in eight astonishing minutes to lead 28-26 going into the final set of six.

From a short kick-off, Lee Smith spilled the ball and the excellent Thomas Bosc and superb Adam Mogg created space for Jason Croker to send in his winger for the clinching score.

Bosc missed the conversion after the hooter but his six successful kicks won an ultimately breathless match which ended five tries all.

Castleford suffered a 34-18 defeat to Warrington just six days after their shattering last-gasp Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat at Huddersfield.

To rub salt into their wounds it was against an in-form Warrington side who themselves booked a place in the semi-finals of the competition.

Castleford, who lost for the fourth time in five league and cup games, led through efforts from Kirk Dixon and Richard Owen but went into the interval trailing by four points after Lee Briers and Louis Anderson both scored converted tries.

Michael Shenton's try reduced the deficit to six points put a double from Vinnie Anderson, and seven tries in all, put the Tigers to the sword.

Harlequins produced a dominant second-half display to overcome a determined Celtic Crusaders side with a 26-6 victory in a bruising encounter at the Stoop.

Quins led by just two points at the break, but scores from Chris Melling, Luke Williamson and Chad Randall after the interval saw the hosts strengthen their grip on fifth spot in the Super League standings.
