Leeds Rhinos spectacularly ended Catalans Dragons’ 100% start to the season as they ran in seven tries at Headingley.
After trailing 22-8 at half-time, the Rhinos crossed the Dragons line five times after the break, the first two of them when they were down to 12 men.
Rhyse Martin had a bad day with the boot, missing his first five kicks.
But Harry Newman led the way, atoning for his early second-half yellow card by crossing twice.
And he was aided by tries from Martin, Catalans old boy Richie Myler, Jarrod O’Connor, Derrell Olpherts and Tom Holroyd.
