Leeds Rhinos player ratings: Myler and Sezer the heroes as Rohan Smith's side pull off the incredible

Leeds Rhinos pulled off the most incredible comeback at the home of the Catalans Dragons. With Matt Prior sent off, they were dead and buried, but they just sprung into life in the most crazy end to a game in recent memory, winning 32-36 in Golden Point extra time.

In truth, it was a flat sixty or so minutes from the Rhinos, but, and after trailing 30-6, they found their second wind late in the game to score five tries and take the contest to extra time. Aidan Sezer did the rest, with the whole stadium stunned as Rohan Smith's side did the unthinkable. Here are the player ratings.

Zak Hardaker: 7 - Struggled to get into the game then sprung into life and became the best version of himself. Madness what you can do with the momentum behind you.

Liam Tindall: 7 - The young winger went well when called upon, in particular one carry to get out the in-goal. He's got bags of energy and he used it well.

Liam Sutcliffe: 7 - Had limited chances to shine but his try was very good. Great put down and ability to change hands with the ball.

Harry Newman: 6 - Loses his head too easily which is something he must cut out, but he was part of the incredible comeback late on, keeping the ball alive and playing on the front foot.

Ash Handley: 6 - Showed some fight and tried to get involved as Leeds pulled off the most insane comeback.

Richard Myler: 8 - A hat-trick for the Super League veteran. His support play has always been outstanding. Each try saw the Leeds side get more and more belief, and they kicked on from there.

Aidan Sezer: 8 - The kick for Myler's second try was sublime and then he went and won the game with a Golden Point try. No superlatives can do that justice.

Mikolaj Oledzki: 7 - There's a reason why he's in the England mix. Solid and dependable as always.

Jarrod O'Connor: 6 - Struggled to get going after last week's heroics over Wigan.

Bodene Thompson: 6 - Did his job in the latter parts of the game after a quiet opening stint.

James Bentley: 7 - Did well to stay away from the niggle whilst others let their head slip. He stood up at the end. Some huge moments.

Rhyse Martin: 7 - Faultless with the tee and came up with some insane carries too.

James Donaldson: 6 - Another who was humbled early on but who had that extra spring in his step late on. The contrast in the two halves was outrageous.

Matt Prior: 3 - A crucial sin bin at the start of the second half saw Catalans score three times. He then returned to the field and was sent off for a high shot. Luckily it didn't matter.

Brad Dwyer: 8 - Leeds were much more energised with Dwyer on the field. He sums this style of rugby up perfectly. Weird that he's not been offered a new deal.

Cameron Smith: 7 - Brought some direct energy to Leeds. There's a very good rugby league player there.

Morgan Gannon: 6 - Few tough learning curves up against Sam Kasiano, but he never backed down. Fair play.
