2001
Defences weren’t exactly on top as Rhinos conceded 46 points at home to Huddersfield Giants – and still won by six.

1997
Rhinos picked up a third straight win with a 43-26 success against Oldham Bears at Boundary Park. Phil Hassan, Anthony Farrell and Iestyn Harris all crossed twice and Paul Sterling was Leeds’ other try scorer.
Harris kicked four goals and Graham Holroyd booted three, plus a one-pointer.
