Rhinos couldn’t deal with Rovers half-back Jordan Abdull’s kicking game, were 14-0 down at the break and conceded again just 18 seconds into the second period.
They managed to score the next two tries, but never looked like pulling the game from the fire. It was a disappointing 80 minutes all round and for a couple of individuals in particular. Here’s how the players rated.
