Leeds Rhinos' play-off charge is well and truly alive after a chaotic 16-14 victory over top-six rivals Salford Red Devils. Two second-half Rhyse Martin penalties were the difference between the two teams as the Rhinos moved to within one win of the play-offs. Here are some of the key talking points to come from the game.
Consistency
That magic word. That trait Leeds have so painfully lacked this year. But maybe, just maybe, they've found it. This wasn't only a third victory but a third good performance. Were Leeds perfect? No. But it was another positive performance that ended with another positive result.
It's probably only the second time this season Leeds have put together three strong performances on the bounce and even that sequence included a dreadful 30 minutes against Wigan Warriors before storming back to victory. Crucially, this time Leeds have turned performances into points and that's a very promising reality at the business end of the year.
