In a dominant performance, Leeds Rhinos defeated Warrington Wolves 36-12 in the Betfred Super League, marking their fifth consecutive league win and seventh in eight matches.

Co-captain Cameron Smith was instrumental, scoring twice after coming off the bench.

He opened the scoring in the 34th minute and added another try just three minutes into the second half.

Half-back Brodie Croft followed with a third try, while Jake Connor's fourth goal extended Leeds' lead to 20-0.

Warrington, fresh off their Challenge Cup final loss, responded with a try from Josh Thewlis.

However, Leeds continued to dominate the match, adding tries from prop Tom Holroyd and Connor, who finished the game with 14 points.

Ben Currie managed a late consolation try for Warrington, but Morgan Gannon sealed the victory by scoring Leeds' sixth try.

The match also marked a significant milestone for second-rower Kallum Watkins, who made his 400th career appearance and even kicked a last-minute conversion.

The win showcased Leeds' resurgence under coach Brad Arthur, with strong performances from Lachie Miller and Marc Sneyd, amplifying their offensive threats.
