Leeds have ran in seven tries in a 37-24 win over Catalans Dragons on Saturday to pull level on points with St Helens at the top of the English Super League.

Leeds recovered from 18-10 down at the break, with New Zealand international Ali Lauitiiti at the heart of most of their best moves, to end the French side's seven-match unbeaten run.

Lauitiiti, Robert Burrow, Scott Donald, Danny McGuire, Ryan Hall (2) and Lee Smith all crossed for Leeds in a game watched by a record Catalans home crowd of 9,880.

A first-ever hat-trick of tries by Huddersfield full-back Leroy Cudjoe was all in vain as Warrington came from 18-6 down to beat the Giants 19-18.

Stand-off Lee Briers secured the Wolves' sixth win in seven matches under new coach James Lowes with a snap drop goal seven minutes from the end, with Huddersfield captain Chris Thorman missing a chance to snatch a point.

On Friday, St Helens cruised to a 15th straight win and a crushing hat-trick of derby triumphs with a 46-12 victory against 12-man Wigan.

The Warriors were forced to play all but the first five minutes a man short after hooker Michael McIlorum was sent off by referee Ashley Klein for a high tackle on Great Britain winger Ade Gardner and Saints made them pay with an eight-try romp.

Scrumhalf Sean Long scored one of the tries and kicked six goals from seven attempts on his 300th appearance for Saints.
