A strong start from the hosts saw Rhinos take a 18-0 inside the opening 30 minutes, with tries from Moon, Stevie Ward and Kallum Watkins.

The visitors began to play their way into the game, Ashley Gibson getting a try back just before half time, before Niall Evalds ran the length of the pitch early in the second half to reduce the hosts' lead to eight points.

Leeds were dominant in the second half, Moon adding his second before a quick brace from McShane, and a late addition from Kevin Sinfield.

The win moves Leeds up to third in the Super League table.
