Ned McCormack was denied a sixth-minute score for Leeds in a stop-start opening when video referee Liam Rush spotted Chris Hankinson's knock-on. But the Rhinos had the lead after 12 minutes when Connor dummied and cut back inside to score following Lumb's break. Super League's leading points scorer this season was involved again as he teed up Oledzki to power over from close range. Holroyd was held up over the line, while last-ditch defence denied Jarrod O'Connor and Lumb as Toulouse, to their credit, continued to fight. Connor, the 2025 Man of Steel, leapt high to grab Lachlan Miller's pinpoint kick under the posts and register his second score.
