LEIGH'S Dean Purtill is Top of the Points in the Rugby League.

His 26 goals added to six tries puts him ahead of Hull KR's Mike Fletcher, who tops the goalkickers on 35.

Purtill has scored one try in each of Leigh's last eight matches, including all five this season. The winger's point-scoring sequence covers 24 matches. Centre Jimmy Veikoso has scored a try in each of Leigh's matches this season.

Meanwhile, ex-Leigh stars Dean Hanger, with two tries, and Andy Cheetham on one put the skids under Swinton as Huddersfield raced to a thumping 31-16 win at Gigg Lane.
