Ash Handley hits the heights to send Leeds surging past Huddersfield

• Huddersfield 0-44 Leeds• Handley and Hurrell score two tries apiece in routFour years ago arguably the most memorable try in Leeds’ modern-day history came on this ground, when Ryan Hall broke free in the dying seconds against Huddersfield to secure both the League Leader’s Shield and leg two of a historic treble for the Rhinos. It was hard not to be reminded of that moment here when Hall’s successor, Ash Handley, did exactly the same after 50 minutes – and while it will not secure silverware for Leeds, it could yet be worth far more than that.The eight-time Super League champions have produced performances ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous this season. This was not only in the former category, but perhaps their best of 2019 so far as they took a significant step towards survival here. Handley’s try – which made it 28-0 in Leeds’ favour – seemed the decisive moment, but in reality, the Rhinos had probably already seen off a lacklustre Huddersfield before half-time.
