Castleford Tigers completed a remarkable comeback to beat league leaders Leeds Rhinos 36-34 in a thrilling West Yorkshire derby.

In one match of the season, the Tigers came from 16 points down to claim their second win in seven games as the Raynes missed out on a four-point lead at the top of the Super League.

Thirteen tries were scored as the final whistle blew at a red-hot Oneborough Stadium as the Tigers moved into 10th place above fellow Yorkshire clubs York Knights and Bradford Bulls.

Micah Sivo scored one of the Super League’s best tries – one of four Rhinos tries in the first half – but his side slumped to their fourth league defeat in 19 games this season.
