Leeds forward Mitch Garbutt sent off
Phew! Took about four men to stop Mitch Garbutt. Him and Keith Galloway are absolutely hammering this Cowboys defensive line.
Leeds run out of tackles on the right and the ball is turned over. Breathless.
Huge tackle on Ryan Hall from Kyle Feldt, but he gives away the penalty and Leeds get another repeat set...
Brad Singleton held up! Leeds battering on the door...

Quote MessageThis is a crucial part of the game for Leeds. Players are getting their second wind, you start to get some fluency. This is where the Cowboys will start to click things into gear and Leeds have got to stay in this game for the next 10-15 minutes.

Zak Hardaker for Leeds carves his way through and wins the penalty for a bit of a flop from Michael Morgan. Goes to touch. Into the 20 Leeds go.
James Tamou held up... then Jake Granville... and then Gavin Cooper spills a Johnathan Thurston fizzer. Cowboys move comes to an end.
Leeds got up - good line-speed and defended their line well.
Ash Handley knocks on in front of his own sticks! Cowboys get a scrum 10 out.
Johnathan Thurston measured a low grubber into the red zone, it paid off.
The Cowboys' Scotland international Kane Linnett goes off temporarily with blood trickling down his face after catching Johnathan Thurston's boot in a tackle.
Leeds chucking the ball around at the moment, not the kindest conditions for that type of game but they're doing it well so far.
Brilliant clearing work by Ryan Hall from a Johnathan Thurston grubber. Carried out of the in-goal area with an on-rushing Cowboys chase looming.
Equally fine kick down field looks to turn Lachlan Coote.
Leeds have the wind this half and they're making the Cowboys work so far.
Big pressure in defence sees Jason Taumalolo spill the ball in the tackle and Leeds are on the attack inside the Cowboys half from the penalty.
However the Rhinos knock-on in a good position with tackles left. That will frustrate Brian McDermott.

Quote MessageGood signs for Leeds Rhinos so far. They've been enterprising, they got some offloads in, and it's imperative that they don't make errors if they're playing this way. They haven't in the first two or three sets.
Liam Sutcliffe turns North Queensland round with a dink into the corner.
The Cowboys get a scrum on their 20 metre line and look to break. Jake Granville is a danger from dummy half.
Good defence from the Rhinos so far.

Well-taken though and the visitors go through their first six tackles.

What better way to set the tone for this big encounter than Lizzie Jones, widow of the late Wales and Keighley half-back Danny, delivering a stirring rendition of 'Jerusalem'?
Beautiful.
