    A Liam Sutcliffe hat-trick saw Leeds Rhinos beat Catalans Dragons in their Super League play-off eliminator seven days ago in Perpignan.

    Two tries from Sutcliffe gave the Rhinos a 12-4 lead at the break.

    Dean Whare crossed for the home side soon after the restart but Hull FC-bound Sutcliffe then completed his treble to send the Rhinos through to tonight's semi-final.

    The French side ended the match with 11 men after Gil Dudson was sent off for putting his head in on Aidan Sezer and Mitchell Pearce was sin-binned.
