BBC Sport · 3 months ago

Leeds Rhinos secured a commanding victory over Catalans Dragons in Perpignan, consolidating their position atop the Super League standings. Brodie Croft delivered a standout performance with three tries to reach twenty for the season, supplemented by Harry Newman and Lachlan Miller, as the visitors dominated to establish a 16-0 halftime advantage. Ugo Tison scored a late try for the home side to avoid being held scoreless.

The result extended Leeds' impressive recent form to twelve wins in their last thirteen matches, whilst Catalans, despite showing notable improvement from their previous heavy defeat, remain outside the play-off places following their third consecutive loss. High-scoring winger Maika Sivo's remarkable streak of ten consecutive matches with a try came to an end, leaving him short of equalling the Super League record he was within reach of.

  • Leeds Rhinos defeated Catalans Dragons 28-6 to maintain their four-point Super League lead
  • Brodie Croft scored three tries; Maika Sivo's consecutive-match try streak ended at ten games
  • Catalans showed improvement but remain outside the play-off places after their third straight defeat
