Leeds Rhinos vs Wakefield Wildcats 6/04/14

Leeds Rhinos were hoping to get back to winning ways against Wakefield Wildcats in the Tetley's Challenge Cup. The nerves soon were dispelled when Rob Burrow scored the first try of the game.

This was to set the Rhinos on their way and it wasn't long after that Carl Ablett scored one of two tries by crossing the line after good supporting work by Kevin Sinfield.  Tries from Danny McGuire and Ryan Hall made the score 26-0. Sir Kev missed two of the conversion attempts.

Wakefield got a try back through Pita Godinet, Jarrod Sammut with their conversion. This was never going to deter the Rhinos however as in the last minute of the half as Ryan Hall scored his second try after brilliant work from Carl Ablett. Sir Kev did get his conversion attempt on target this time round.

Half-time came and went and the second half started as strongly as the first half when Liam Sutcliffe who returned to the Rhinos after a spell on loan at London Broncos scored his try after 50 minutes but not before Mitch Achurch put his name on the score-sheet when Hardaker and Sinfield combined to allow Achurch through. Sir Kev converted both tries to give the Rhinos a commanding 44-6 lead.

Leeds then entered the final period of the game in great fashion when Tom Briscoe added to the score-line with a superb try and Rob Burrow added another to his tally. Sir Kev booted his kick over to make the score-line more handsome and Joel Moon who has been on form this season scored the final try of the game and Sir Kev added the conversion to make it 60-6 to the Rhinos.

A fantastic game for the Rhinos and they march onto the next round of the Challenge Cup where they face St Helens. It should be a wonderful clash.

Man of the Match has to be Rob Burrow, he performed very very well in the game and to get two tries is a bonus.

No injury doubts from this game.

Until next time......
