BENTLEY RIDE

James drives Rhinos to double joy

- by DAVE CRAVEN

JAMES BENTLEY’S try proved the difference as Leeds crucially completed a Super League double over inform Leigh.

The second row crossed for only his second of the season in the 53rd minute and it proved enough in a titanic clash.

Leigh's Josh Charnley blew a late chance to earn Leopards a fifth successive win.

And ex-Man of Steel Brodie Croft went up the other end to secure a vital victory for Rhinos, who go fourth.

Leeds thought they had opened the scoring, only for video referee Chris Kendall to chalk off Croft's effort, claiming he didn't get downward pressure on Jake Connor's kick.
