A red flare was ignited on Emerald Headingley's Western Terrace, used mainly by away supporters and then thrown on to the playing surface after Salford scored their clinching try late in the second half.

Play was delayed until the flare was extinguished by grounds staff and a Rhinos spokesman said: "Our stewards were able to identify two individuals and they are being dealt with by police."
