Leeds Rhinos player ratings from defeat at Salford Red Devils

There was no 'new coach bounce' from Leeds Rhinos as they were thumped 23-8 at Salford Red Devils in Rohan Smith's first game as coach.

After successive wins, Rhinos were looking to continue their resurgence, but they were outplayed.

Rhinos had several key players back from injury and suspension, but nobody really shone in a poor team display.

Leeds trailed 16-4 at half-time and the final score was a fair reflection.

Here's how the Rhinos players rated, plus marks for Salford's 17 and referee James Child.
