Leeds Rhinos player ratings as Zak Hardaker and Kruise Leeming shine in stunning victory

Here are the player ratings.

Zak Hardaker - 9: Exceptional. Created one try and scored another. Sound at the back, good in yardage and clinical with the ball.

David Fusitu'a - 8: Didn't have to do much to score his try but his carries were strong all game and got Leeds on the front foot early in sets. Superb finish for his second try.

Rhyse Martin - 6: Somewhat quiet compared to others but didn't do a great deal wrong. Unusually off with his conversions.

Liam Sutcliffe - 8: A shaky start defensively but with the ball he was superb. His strong carry allowed Leeming to surge out of dummy half to put Smith through a gap, which created the first try. Punched through all night.

Ash Handley - 8: Strong with the ball as ever. Marked up for that beautiful intercept.

Blake Austin - 7: Much better suited to this system. Says he doesn't like being judged purely on his running game but he's so better when the focus of his role is on just that, as it was here.

Richie Myler - 8: Just guided the team around the field with little fuss. Outrageous pass to put Hardaker away for the second try. Two more assisted another two in the second-half.

Zane Tetevano - 6: One of the quieter players on the night but an improvement on some of his earlier performances this season.

Kruise Leeming - 9 : Best display of the year. This new attacking system is made for his running game. Now he has players pushing with him and he's causing havoc. Exquisite kick for Fusitu'a's opening try, too.

Mikolaj Oledzki - 8: Monster minute and will have absolutely scorched the stat count. His opening spell was superb.

Morgan Gannon - 6: Went off early with a HIA and didn't return. Will miss next week's game with Huddersfield Giants.

Bodene Thompson - 7: A calming presence. He's not spectacular but he doesn't tend to do a lot wrong either. Deserved try.

Cameron Smith - 8: Amid so many running threats his ability to tie everything together looks classy. His break helped create the first try and the timing of his pass for Hardaker allowed him to score the third.

Brad Dwyer - 7: Another short stint but plenty of involvements while he was on.

Jarrod O'Connor 6: Needs more game time.

Matt Prior - 7: Grafted away once he came on the field.

James Donaldson - 8: Has a tendency to be a workhorse but he added some quality here. Ran some great lines, was more impactful defensively than he has been for most of the season and was rewarded with a try.
