Leeds Rhinos regained third place in Betfred Super League after a thrilling 22-18 win over Wakefield Trinity, but the result came at a cost.

After leading 22-6 at half-time, Rhinos lost influential full-back Lachie Miller to a calf muscle injury at the break. Coach Brad Arthur confirmed: "About five minutes before half-time he said his calf was no good.

"We got him through to half-time then made the change. He'll have a scan on Monday. I am super-proud of him to brave it out to half-time."

Leeds managed to hang on for a fourth successive win despite two tries in the final 40 from Trinity's Max Jowitt and the late sin-binning of Rhinos forward James Bentley.

Jowitt's second try was confirmed by video official Tom Grant after an on-field signal of try from referee Chris Kendall, but Arthur felt there was a blatant obstruction in the build-up.
