Leeds Rhinos moved up to third in the Super League table with a hard-earned away victory over Castleford Tigers.

It was only 7-0 at half-time with Sam Lisone's converted try just after the half-hour mark and Jake Connor's drop-goal a minute before the break the only points of a tight first half.

Louis Senior responded for the Tigers early in the second period to put the hosts within one point of Leeds, but two quick tries from Harry Newman and Ryan Hall put the Rhinos in control.

Newman added his second after 68 minutes and Lisone also doubled his try tally late on as Leeds leapfrogged St Helens and Leigh up to third.
