Wait ages for a try and then two come along at once. Imports Lachie Miller and Paul Momirovski both bagged a brace - their first scores for the club - as Leeds Rhinos romped to a 26-6 derby win at Castleford Tigers tonight.

Rhinos won it with a superb defensive display in the first half, followed by some clinical finishing in the second. It was a highly professional performance. The first 40 minutes ended scoreless, the fourth time in as many games Leeds have failed to register a point in one of the halves.

With 10 left Josh Simm scored a consolation try for Tigers, from a kick by Richardson who added the extras. It was no more than Castleford’s effort deserved, but Rhinos had the last laugh when O’Connor sent Croft into a gap and Lachie Miller was in support to cross for the final try. Martin added his fifth goal to complete the scoring in front of a crowd of 9,026.
