Boss Brad Arthur insisted the table isn't his priority after Leeds Rhinos climbed to third with a hard-fought 29-6 win at Castleford Tigers.

Leeds completed three successive victories for the first time this season and have now won five of their last six games in Betfred Super League.

But in his post-match press conference Arthur stressed: “We are chasing just being a bit better each week and getting our combinations right; where we sit on the table is nice, but not what my priority is right now.”

He said: “That performance, that professionalism, can we do that again next week? That's what we need to be chasing, more so than the two points. If we chase those sorts of performances, the win column takes care of itself. We are not at [the top-two's] level yet, but that's where we are aiming to get to. Time will tell [if they can do that].”
