Connor scored a try, set up two others and kicked four goals in Leeds’ fifth-successive win, which was much more comprehensive than seemed likely at half-time when they led 8-0.

Warrington made Rhinos work hard, particularly in a scoreless opening 34 minutes, but Leeds rattled up 20 points in 10 minutes either side of the break to effectively take the game away from the visitors. At times, Rhinos played some lovely attacking rugby.
