Leeds Rhinos maintained their two-point cushion at the Super League summit as they thrashed a depleted Toulouse side 46-0 at Headingley.
Jake Connor lit up a stodgy first half, scoring the opener and teeing up Mikolaj Oledzki before his interception laid the foundations for Tom Holroyd’s score shortly before half-time.
The table-toppers looked sharper after the break with James McDonnell, Harry Newman and Connor’s second taking Rhinos 34 points clear.
Brodie Croft and Riley Lumb crossed in the final quarter, while Connor capped an impressive display with seven goals from eight attempts to finish with 22 points.
A 10th win from 10 on home turf this season keeps Leeds ahead of second-placed Wigan after their victory at Leigh.
