Leeds Rhinos resisted a strong Wakefield Trinity fightback in their West Yorkshire derby to go third in the table and chalk up their sixth Super League win in the past seven Connor chalked up a personal tally of 14 points as two of the competition's form teams went head to head at an emotional Headingley, which marked the approaching first anniversary of the death of Rob Burrow by making this an MND Awareness sides went into the game on the back of three straight wins but Connor's kicking, added to his try and further scores from Harry Newman and Riley Lumb had the home side looking comfortable at half League's leading points scorer Max Jowitt, however, added two tries to that scored by Lachlan Walmsley in the first half to make it a nervy finish for home to follow
