So for our traditional Boxing Day game with Wakefield Wildcats, we decided on bringing the youngsters in as well as throwing in Adam Cuthbertson who made his debut. And it paid off big time as Ash Handley grabbed himself 5, yes you saw that right...FIVE tries.
However it was Wakefield who got off to a flying start, going 0-12 up within the first 12 minutes of the game. However Stevie Ward pulled a try back but that was to be followed by a Wakefield try who extended their lead.
18-6 after 18 minutes, the Rhinos then began to get a foothold on the game with Ash Handley getting his first and the scores were level not long after after a great try from Danny McGuire, Liam Sutcliffe was assigned the kicking duties I should add here.
Handley then added two more tries to his haul, both were assisted by Tom Briscoe and that gave the Rhinos a good lead to take into half-time.
The second half came and Rhinos scored twice and it was the man of the match Ash Handley with his two tries to make it a golden haul of 5. The latter try coming from him palming off FOUR Wakefield players to cross the whitewash.
Liam Sutcliffe who kicked 5 from 7 conversion attempts did score a wonderful try of his own. The score at this point was 44-18.
Elliot Minchella scored the 9th try for Rhinos and the score was 50-18 until two late tries from Wakefield took it up to 50-28.
Overall a good exercise for the youngsters of the Rhinos and I have to say Ashton Golding is starting to really show a lot of promise as well as Ash Handley and Elliot Minchella.
