Individual performances were up and down, but some players were consistently good even when the team was struggling.
Here’s the first part of our assessment, in alphabetical order, of how the squad rated in the context of the whole season.
7. Brad Dwyer (No 14)
Five appearances, 19 sub, seven tries. Unstructured maybe, but made things happen and turned several games with pace off the bench 7. Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
8. David Fusitu'a (No 2)
14 appearances, five tries. Frustratingly hampered by injuries, but showed some good signs when he did play 6. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
9. Morgan Gannon (No 21)
13 starts, 12 sub, 6 tries. At 18, remarkably good and consistent, arguably the best teenage forward in Super League and his potential is limitless 7. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
10. Ash Handley (No 5)
28 appearances, 17 tries. Leading metre-maker in Super League, Rhinos’ top try scorer, consistently good even when the team weren’t 8. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
11. Zak Hardaker (No 33)
18 starts, two tries, 12 goals. Absolutely crucial midseason signing, was good at full-back or centre and still one of Super League’s best 8. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
12. Corey Johnson (No 26)
Three starts, two sub. Showed some versatility, playing in the halves and hooker, but little used 5. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
