AS if having three players out due to international duty wasn’t enough, Leeds Knights suffered a further huge blow ahead of their home clash with Telford Tigers when it was revealed captain Kieran Brown was also missing.

An upper-body injury was all head coach Ryan Aldridge would say after the game but, cometh the hour, cometh the man when, under such trying circumstances, others have to step up.

That man proved to be Jordan Buesa, who grabbed the Knights by the scruff of the neck to lead a stunning fightback from two goals down at the end of the first period to secure a 5-2 triumph in front of another raucous Elland Road crowd.
