Centre Harry Newman, who scored the first of Rhinos’ 11 tries, was taken off in the second half after a knock. Arthur said: “It was a knee on knee clash and it started to stiffen up. We've got a short turnaround into Hull KR on Thursday so we thought we'd take him off for the last 15 minutes. He'll be okay for Thursday.”

Fullback Lachie Miller, Leeds’ second scorer, was also given a rest and Arthur explained: “He had a really strong 60 minutes so it was to give him a rest and look after him a bit and get some game time into some of the other guys.”
