How did Leeds Rhinos beat Toulouse Olympique 46-0?

Leeds controlled the contest from the opening stages and never allowed Toulouse to establish any momentum. Their attack combined power, pace and creativity throughout the evening, while the defence prevented the visitors from registering a single point.

The Rhinos scored eight tries through:

• Jake Connor (2)
• Brodie Croft
• James McDonnell
• Harry Newman
• Riley Lumb
• Mikolaj Oledzki
• Tom Holroyd

Connor also converted seven of the eight tries to complete a superb individual display.

Despite missing several experienced players through injury, Leeds demonstrated impressive squad depth and maintained a high intensity throughout the full 80 minutes.

Who were the standout performers?

Jake Connor once again proved why he remains one of Super League’s most influential players. The reigning Man of Steel finished with:

• Two tries
• Seven successful conversions
• An influential playmaking display
• Control of Leeds’ attacking tempo

Brodie Croft orchestrated the attack alongside Connor, while James McDonnell and Mikolaj Oledzki dominated through the middle of the field.

Out wide, Harry Newman and Riley Lumb both finished excellent team moves, with Tom Holroyd also getting on the scoresheet.

Teenage forward Zak Lloyd made his long-awaited first-team debut, becoming the latest academy graduate to progress into the senior squad after several impressive performances at youth level.

How did the result affect the Super League table?

The convincing victory strengthened Leeds’ position at the top of the Betfred Super League.

The Rhinos now sit four points clear of their nearest challengers, giving Brad Arthur’s side an increasingly strong platform heading into the closing stages of the regular season.
