It was always going to be a case of how many tries we could rack up against opposition who do not look fit enough for SL and who also play safe in the knowledge that they will still be in the league next year.



It didn’t take long for The Rhinos to start the scoring when Danny McGuire went over in the corner the try was converted by Sinfield, who has been kicking brilliantly recently and it was 0-6 Rhinos, within 5 minutes.

It was 0-18 with first Burrow and then McGuire going in again, both converted and at this rate we were looking at SL’s first 200 point haul.


Les Catalans were the next to score though, with Michael Dobson scoring on his debut after playing a 1-2 with a Leeds defender but 4 minutes later Donald was in and it was 6-24 with the conversion, another couple of minutes after that Senior went over 6-30 but we were now only looking at a 120 points
It was another 10 minutes before we scored again and this time it was Chev Walker who picked up a lose ball and went over, Sinfield missed and it was 6-34.

Shortly after this the Cats had a man sent off but they held out to the break.


HT 6-34


Les Cats got the first points of the second half when Murphy went over, the kick was missed so it was 10-34 After 50, we then had to wait a further 10 minutes before The Rhinos got a further try from Diskin, the goal was added 10-40 after an hour.
Ali got the next try after good work by Senior who now seems to be getting some sort of form back again, albeit against inferior opposition over the past fortnight. Rob Burrow then handed Jordan Tansey his debut try under the posts and that was 10-52, Lee Smith finished the scoring in the last minute running the length of the pitch to go under the posts.


FT 10-58


It will be much tougher on Friday night at home to Salford.
