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.
