Blake Austin crossed three minutes from time to snatch an 18-14 victory, after Rhinos had gone behind for the second time in the game five minutes earlier.
Leeds were well below their best on attack, but it was a battling defensive performance, particularly when they were twice reduced to 12 men.
Here’s how the players rated.
