IT'S JACK THE GLAD

Broadbent rescues Agar

Wakefield 22

Leeds 28

RICHARD AGAR breathed a huge sigh of relief after seeing his Rhinos sneak their way to victory.

Chris Chester’s unfancied Trinity were threatening to claim the points, largely thanks to some brilliance from Tom Johnstone.

They led by 12 points in the first half and fought back to level in the second half, after refusing to let a Leeds rally rattle them.

But rookie centre Jack Broadbent, who was only in the team because of several injuries, crushed their hopes when he came to Leeds’ rescue with the winner.

Coach Agar (right) admitted he had been concerned, saying: “We have seen it before with this team, unfortunately, a few more times than I would like.

“For long periods we controlled the field position and created plenty of chances but we needed to be more ruthless with how we finished.
