3s and 4s in Peter Smith's player ratings as Leeds Rhinos humiliated by Wakefeld Trinity

Leeds Rhinos suffered the most embarrassing result in their Super League history on Sunday when they handed injury-ravaged - and 12-man - Wakefield Trinity a first win of the season.

Leeds were almost comically inept in a 24-14 defeat and it’s hard to imagine they could have played worse if they had tried.

It was a remarkable result for Trinity, who had French debutant Hugo Salabrio sent-off for a dangerous throw on Richie Myler four minutes into the second half. Trinity are back to within four points of second-bottom Castleford Tigers. Leeds’ season is effectively over.

Trinity hadn’t scored first since round one, against Catalans Dragons, but after 11 minutes Leeds needlessly turned the ball over in their half, Blake Austin passing to Mikolaj Oledzki on the last and in the resulting set Will Dagger’s kick was knocked back by Lee Kershaw and Jack Croft touched down.

It was only the third time Wakefield had been in front this season and they were 10 up by the end of the first quarter when debutant Romain Franco crossed from Jowitt’s cut-out pass.

Leeds missed two chances before the opener, Oledzki stepping into space but not being able to find his support, then Austin threw a lovely dummy, only had the full-back to beat and simply dropped the ball.

Before Franco’s try, Austin’s long pass found Nene Macdonald who only had to catch it to score. He didn’t.

When Rhinos began to do the basics right, they scored two tries in rapid succession - Cameron Smith off a one-two with Richie Myler and Leon Ruan on his debut from Myler’s pass. Rhyse Martin converted the first and hit a post with the second.

After the red card, Austin hoofed a drop out into touch and Dagger – who had improved Croft’s try – took the two. Austin then scored a fine solo touchdown, but Martin let the restart bounce into touch, Rhinos were caught offside and another penalty – the count finished seven-two in Wakefield’s favour – levelled the scores again.

Soon after, Ash Handley was sin-binned for tripping Franco and Matty Ashurst went over from Jowitt’s pass to make it 18-14; then Myler dropped a high kick by Morgan Smith who followed up to score a try which Dagger converted.

Here’s how the Rhinos players rated.
