Leeds Rhinos player ratings as Rohan Smith's side fall to away day defeat

Richie Myler - 5: Mopped up well at the back on a number of occasions but rarely seen in attack. Couldn't improve things when moved into the halves.

Nene Macdonald - 6: Put his hand up for some really brave carries when Leeds were under the pump. But part of a right edge that was exposed too much.

Rhyse Martin - 5: Had a good battle with Zak Hardaker that neither won nor lost.

Harry Newman - 4: Pretty quiet night for Newman who didn't get much change out of Ricky Leutele. The right edge struggled.

Ash Handley - 5: Unlucky with a breakaway where he was hauled out. Largely quiet.

Aidan Sezer - 4: Only played half a game but was anonymous when on.

Blake Austin - 6: Lovely assist for the Bentley try. Beyond that, very hot and cold. His kicking game a seriously mixed bag, like seriously mixed bag.

Mikolaj Oledzki - 5: Set the tone with a good early carry but that was his most telling contribution.

Jarrod O'Connor - 5: Heaps of defensive work against a very big Leigh pack. Didn't always make the right call with the ball.

Sam Lisone - 4: The thing we've learned about Lisone is that he's a prop who you want on when you're on the front foot. That was proven last week. But he's not the sort you went on when the bulk of his work is defence-orientated. Unfortunately, Leeds barely had the ball in his first spell.

James McDonnell - 5: Been brilliant but struggled at times in this game. Part of the right edge that struggled defensively.

Zane Tetevano - 5: Was physically got the better of at times. His effort undoubted though.

Cameron Smith - 5: Was always looking for the ball and really tried to get things going but couldn't. Leeds' attack was largely clunky.

James Bentley - 5: Nice line for his try but too many errors. A knock-on, a forward pass and two penalties were conceded. His effort can't be questioned.

Justin Sangare - 5: Got through plenty of carries in fairness, but not able to break the tackles and skittle the defenders in the impact role.

Liam Tindall - 5: Dropped the ball first carry and was largely quiet.

Tom Holroyd - 5: Grafted but Leigh handled him well.

The new episode of House of League is out now! Matthew Shaw is joined by Paul Cooke and Joe Appleyard to discuss the season so far and grade every club's campaign.
