Connor then held his nerve to kick the extras from five yards inside the touchline.More to follow.Wakefield: Rourke; Myers, Scott, Hall, Johnstone; Trueman, Sinfield; Lolesio, Smoothy, Rodwell, McMeeken, Vagana, TevagaInterchanges: Pitts, Hamlin-Uele, Faatili, Smith.Leeds: Miller; Edgell, Handley, Bird, Newman; Croft, Connor; Oledzki, O’Connor, Jenkins, Hankinson, McDonnell, Watkins.Interchanges: Smith, Lloyd, Cassell, Holroyd.Referee: Liam Moore.Related topicsRugby League
