Leeds Rhinos: Player ratings from outstanding Super League win at Wigan Warriors

It was the first time Wigan had failed to score in a game at DW Stadium and lifted Leeds to fifth in the table.

Rhinos ran in two tries in 10 minutes either side of half-time and were rarely troubled defensively.

Here’s how the players rated.

Leeds Rhinos

16 Richie Myler: Scored a try, made some important tackles and tidied up well at the back 8

24 Luke Briscoe: Unfortunate with the sin-binning, but very solid 8

3 Harry Newman: Good moments, a threat with the ball and a couple of crucial tackles 8

2 Tom Briscoe: Stylish performance in his 350th career game. Strong carries away from Rhinos’ line 8

5 Ash Handley: Made a vital try-saver late on, limited chances, but looked a threat at times 8

6 Rob Lui: Is clearly not 100 per cent fitness-wise, but had another fine game 8

9 Kruise Leeming: Outstanding, again, out of position. Great kick for Dwyer’s try 9

20 Bodene Thompson: Worked hard in the middle to help Rhinos’ pack dominate 7

14 Brad Dwyer: Enjoyed the try - and win - against his hometown club 8

10 Matt Prior: Welcome return, nothing spectacular, but a big influence 7

31 Morgan Gannon: Continues to impress, an early break and some big hits 7

12 Rhyse Martin: Final pass for Myler’s try and was effective all game 8

13 Zane Tetevano: Got stuck in, but sin-binning seemed harsh 7
