Leigh Leopards upset Leeds Rhinos to keep top-six hopes alive

Leigh Leopards secured a 20-16 victory over Leeds Rhinos, snapping Leeds' unbeaten home run this season and gaining a crucial two points in the chase for a top-six finish. Innes Senior crossed twice in the first half, while the Leopards' defense limited Leeds to a mere two points after the interval. Leeds' Ryan Hall appeared to score a late try, but officials ruled his trailing foot in touch, nullifying the effort.

Leigh endured a temporary numerical disadvantage after Robbie Mulhern received a green card, yet they maintained their lead. The win also keeps Leeds vulnerable to being overtaken by Wigan if the latter defeat Bradford Bulls on Saturday.
