Super League: Leeds rhinos run in 11 trials against Castleford Tigers while Hull FC beat Leigh Leopards | Rugby League news

Leeds celebrated the decision of head coach Brad Arthur to extend his stay with the Rhinos Resurgent by scoring more than 50 points for the first time in the action of Betfred Super League this season.

The visitors ran in 11 trials in a 64-4 victory, with Jake Connor contributing 22 points with a test and nine conversions, and Brodie Croft, Ryan Hall and Ash Handley crossing twice in a overwhelming victory that moves their side in the two points of Woe-Placan, while Castleford fell on another damage.

Arthur’s impact has been remarkable since his arrival in Headingley at the end of last year, and his decision to stay up to at least the end of 2026 is another sign of the confidence that currently flows in the veins of the rhinos.

This is another story for Castleford, which was simply abject all afternoon, and had only a late test of the lateral rear Jenson Windley – little award for a hot afternoon for the 19 -year -old – to show their efforts.

Leeds took less than five minutes to report their intention at the renowned OneBore stadium while Connor launched a bold kick during their second game and Harry Newman juggled him on the line to give the Rhinos.

Four minutes later, another perfectly judged kick of Connor was seized by Lachlan Miller under the posts to prolong their lead, and there were already signs of dissatisfaction among the fans of the house who have been suffering for a long time.

A video replay failed to clarify the atmosphere while Louis Senior’s attempt to bring the Tigers back to the match while running on the dribble kick of Alex Mellor was excluded for a blow in construction.

The teenager Presley Cassell, supervised in Prop due to injuries decimating the first regular row of the rhinoceros, marked a first beginning to remember after 20 minutes when he twisted after a late unloading of Keenan Palasia.

Andy Ackers sent Croft through the fourth of Leeds and he was quickly followed by a fifth of James Bentley who again left Windley poorly exposed.

This was an desperately difficult afternoon for the 19-year-old player, who signed a long-term agreement with the club last month to find himself invited to play in an unknown role due to injuries to Fletcher Rooney and Tex Hoy.

Leeds should have had more, an effort from Handley excluded and hall rummaging Handley’s pass in the right corner, before Hall was six, ensuring that the Hooter at halftime met a cascade of boos by fans of the house.

There was no rhino relaxation after the break. Handley quickly patinated for a seventh, Newman’s beautifully weighted pass offered Hall his second in the area, then Connor fell for one of his own on time.

House fans began to broadcast for outings before Croft added a second and Handley jogging for the 11th, before those who stayed at least receive something to encourage Windley on what otherwise proven a day to forget.

Tigers Coach Lambasts Performance “Pathetic”

The acting coach of Castleford, Chris Chester, launched a scathing attack on his players after defeat.

The rhinoceros ran in 11 trials in a completely unilateral display which left the fans at home streaming for outings long before full time, and Chester did not have any illusions on the size of the task in hand.

“I thought it was pathetic,” said Chester. “The way we played in the first 40 minutes was probably the worst individual and collective performance in which I have never been involved.

“I said clearly at the half-time of what I thought of the first 40 minutes, and it continued in the second half. I can only sit here and apologize for lack of effort.

“I could say that after three minutes, we were in a long afternoon. We take two steps forward then three steps back and a lot is to be seen with the mentality.

“When things are not doing well, there are too many guys here who just sign the white flag, and it’s more disappointing than everything. There were players who gave a good account of themselves, but I think you can count on two fingers they were.”

Martin takes the invoicing of the stars while Hull FC beat the leopards

The Lewis Martin format scored his 28th try of the season while Hull increased his Betfred Super League dam hopes with a hard victory of 18-12 against Leigh.

Hull saw an advance of 12-0 at halftime annihilated after Quickfire tried after the interval of Lachlan Lam and Gareth O’Brien, whose misplaced pass allowed Martin to fly for the decisive score.

Martin’s 21st test in 2025 after the previous efforts of CAUST CUST and Harvey Barron, all converted by Zak Hardaker, made sure that Hull will finish the weekend in sixth, even if Wakefield, as planned, will obtain a Walkover victory over Salford besieged after the cancellation of the Sunday speech.

Leigh falls into the fourth with five laps to play in the regular season, jumped by Leeds following the previous rhinos in Castleford, the Leopards left their injuries after a murderous competition at the MKM stadium.

They lost the Tongan Joe Ofhengaue propeller to hurt from the start and things worsened for visitors when the tears entered inside, the evil of Robbie Mulhern, and muscled Bailey Hodgson for an opening test.

Hodgson almost made amends when he criticized Hull’s defense, but his effort was withdrawn for obstruction in construction, while John Asiata was refused to the other side because the tee-up pass of Amir Bourouh was forward.

But we cannot deny the shell after 24 minutes when Barron rose the highest to tear a high kick from the footing, which ran to pick up the loose ball from the unloading of his teammate before returning to the wing for an agile dive in the area.

Leigh almost halved the deficit before half-time, but the Keanan brand could only make your fingertips for the loop pass of Lam, ultimately unable to hang on to the line at his mercy.

Umyla Hanley was maintained above the line a few moments after the recovery, but the momentum was with Leigh and two trials converted into the space of five minutes of implementation at 12-12.

First of all, Lam spotted a gap and then put the ball despite the ball despite several defenders above the line with him in the 51st minute, while O’Brien transformed the start of the back Lloyd Kemp to fade by the posts.

But it was the hair pass of O’Brien which allowed Hull to knock the front again after the hour, with Martin who launches himself with a boost from the hands of Hodgson and the race for his eighth test in his last three games.

It was a last nervous final for Hull, which missed the chance to extend their advance in the closing stages when Hardaker put a 35 -yarn penalty.

Leigh, beaten by Leeds last week to put an end to a sequence of four -game victories, went to break in the moving seconds, but the desperate grubber of Frankie Halton after the Hooter was gathered by the adolescent Kemp and thrown in touch to end the procedure.
