James Bentley bagged a brace of tries and Blake Austin and David Fusitu'a also crossed for Rhinos against opponents who were clearly low on confidence and form.

Zak Hardaker was official man of the match in his first home game for Rhinos since 2016.

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

Official man of the match and it was hard to argue. One early spill, but very good after that 8
