3: After a poor start, Leeds got into the game when Rob Burrow moved from half-back to hooker.
4: The form of Leeds’ youngsters was a major positive. Ashton Golding, Ash Handley, Liam Sutcliffe and Jordan Lilley all impressed.
5: With a host of key players unavailable and three more hurt during the game, it was a brave effort by Rhinos, but they are getting to the stage where all that matters is points on the league table and in that respect it was another disappointing evening.
