Leeds Rhinos ran in nine tries against Bradford Bulls to make it 11 wins from 12 and extend their Super League lead to four points.

Ash Handley scored a hat-trick as he brought up 150 career tries and Brodie Croft, Chris Hankinson, Jarrod O'Connor, James McDonnell, Jake Connor and Maiko Sivo also went over for the Rhinos.
