Leeds Rhinos have knocked the Catalan Dragons out of the Super League playoffs with a 27-20 win away in France.
The in-form Clint Greenshields kept up his impressive scoring record with the opening try for the Dragons after seven minutes.
Leeds responded with two scores through Stevie Ward and Shaun Lunt.
Damian Blach responded for the Dragons just before half-time but the accuracy of Kevin McGuire's kicking proved the difference as the Rhinos led 12-10 at the interval.
Blanch struck for the second time early in the second half to regain the lead for the Dragons, but Leeds fought back once again with tries from Carl Ablett and Danny McGuire to re-establish their lead.
A fourth Catalan score from Thomas Bosc set up a tense finale but Danny McGuire kicked his first drop-goal in six years to secure the victory for Leeds.
