  1. Leeds Rhinos 4-20 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 64 mins

    Ball out on the full from the restart... North Queensland Cowboys penalty on half way goes to touch and it's more pressure for Leeds to tackle.

    Michael Morgan almost poked his nose through from a tidy little pass by Jake Granville. Leeds do well to halt him.

    Play moved out to the left side though and Johnathan Thurston popped a kick through that Lachlan Coote got his hands on... just... and got the ball down over the line.

    Thurston nudges the kick over. Game over Leeds?

  3. Leeds Rhinos 4-14 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 60 mins

    Up to the hour mark.

    Kyle Feldt dives "on the grenade" so to speak, after a little kick through from Brett Ferres bobbles temptingly.

    Leeds miss out on points, but encouraging signs.

    North Queensland have done well to soak up the pressure they've received from the Rhinos.

  4. Leeds Rhinos 4-14 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 59 mins

    North Queensland are penalised by RIchard Silverwood with Johnathan Thurston offside from Jordan Lilley's clip to the corner with Leeds.

    Mitch Garbutt held up from the subsequent set, and then Jordan Lilley too!

  5. Leeds Rhinos 4-14 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 56 mins

    Leeds get a penalty when Kallum Watkins is lifted above the horizontal in the tackle. Ball goes to touch and they've made some metres.

  6. Leeds Rhinos 4-14 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 55 mins

    Leeds try to make headway in the Cowboys half but run of tackles short of the line.

    Paul Green's side get front-foot ball though with a couple of searing drives. Danger for Leeds.

  7. Leeds Rhinos 4-14 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 53 mins

    Few Cowboys players sauntering back behind the ball after that Zak Hardaker kick down into their 10.

    It's been energy sapping stuff in this second half.

    Then John Asiata is pulled for obstruction. Leeds penalty.

  8. Leeds Rhinos 4-14 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 51 mins

    The Cowboys have got a roll on now. They're carving through the Leeds defence, who have grafted effortlessly.

    Thurston puts up another towering kick but Ash Handley makes sure to catch it. Confidence boosting.

  9. try

    TRY (Feldt)published at 48 mins

    Leeds Rhinos 4-14 North Queensland Cowboys

    Slick move to the right and Kyle Feldt just brushed the covering Ryan Hall out of the way on his route to the line.

    Power from the Cowboys winger, whose late try kept their Grand Final dream alive last year.

    Johnathan Thurston unable to tag on the two. A 10-point ball-game now though...

  10. Leeds Rhinos 4-10 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 47 mins

    Johnathan Thurston held up, and then Brett Ferres interferes at the play-the-ball. Another set of six for the Cowboys.

  11. Leeds Rhinos 4-10 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 47 mins

    Now Keith Galloway is pinged for a big shot on Kyle Feldt. Cowboys tap and are in the Leeds 10...

  12. Leeds Rhinos 4-10 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 46 mins

    Big run by Kyle Feldt gets North Queensland on the front-foot. Then Rory Kostjasyn rips his way though but great tackle from Joel Moon on Michael Morgan turns the ball over.

    Leeds need a big response because it's been all Cowboys this first six minutes of the second half.

  13. Leeds Rhinos 4-10 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 44 mins

    The Cowboys smell blood now. Johnathan Thurston peppers Ryan Hall who takes the ball cleanly but Leeds are immediately pushed back by the kick-chase.

    They have their tails up, do the Cowboys.

    The worst possible start for Leeds but it's important they brush it off as quickly as possible.

    TRY (Linnett, con Thurston)published at 41 mins

    Leeds Rhinos 4-10 North Queensland

    Johnathan Thurston hoisted a kick with the wind at his back and the ball dropped toward Ash Handley.

    The young Leeds winger spilled it back and Rory Kostjasyn slipped the ball quickly to Kane Linnett to cross.

    Silence at Headingley as Thurston converts. Tough start.

    Zak Hardaker thumps the ball into the night sky and we're back on.

    ...and now the Rhinos follow them, out to flames and cheers.

    Here we go...

  18. HT: Leeds Rhinos 4-4 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 20:04

    The Cowboys are back out. Obviously can't get enough of the cold West Yorkshire wind.

  19. HT: Leeds Rhinos 4-4 North Queensland Cowboyspublished at 20:02

    Who has impressed you for Leeds so far? I think Zak Hardaker has carried well.

    Personally though, Mitch Garbutt, Adam Cuthbertson and Keith Galloway have really taken it to the Cowboys forwards and made big metres.

    James Tamou and Matt Scott are experienced international and Origin players but they've had some traffic down their channels tonight.

    The Rhinos have been outstanding so far and they've troubled North Queensland with the ball. The first 40 minutes have put a bit of respect back into our game.
