There were some good wins, including at league leaders Wigan Warriors and defending champions St Helens.
But Rhinos lost three of their five meetings with the bottom pair and eighth place in Betfred Super League was a fair reflection of their form.
Leeds used 30 players, with two featuring in every game. Here’s how they rated for the 2023 campaign as a whole.

27. Jack Sinfield (no 29)
Appearances: five (plus one), tries: one. Aged 18 for most of the campaign, he came into the team in difficult circumstances, against good opposition, but showed in the final game what he’ll be capable of with more experience 4. Photo: Tony Johnson
