Easts' 90-2 thrashing of Hull Dockers was their 22nd win in as many league games and took their points scored to 1,090, with only 222 conceded - an average result of 49-10.

Normington came through Rhinos' youth system before playing as a semiprofessional for Hunslet and York. It was his final game before hanging up his boots to focus on a new role of East's club chairman and he celebrated by scoring the first two tries.
