Leeds Rhinos 18 Hudderfield Giants 12: Player ratings as youngsters shine in crucial win
Leeds Rhinos' young players caught the eye as a patched-up side battled past Huddersfield Giants on an emotional night at Emerald Headingley.
Watched by guest of honour Rob Burrow, Rhinos - without 11 players through injurr or suspension - maintained their push for a place in the Betfred Super League play-offs with a precious 18-12 win.


Teenager Morgan Gannon was Rhinos' official man of the match and young half-back Callum McLelland also impressed.
