Last weekend saw three Rhinos players in action away from the club in the Betfred Super League and Betfred Championship.

Leon Ruan was back in action for Hull as the black and whites hosted Castleford, whilst Jack Smith and Corey Johnson both swapped last week's Reserves outing for game time in the Championship. 

Jack Smith - Bradford Bulls vs Dewsbury Rams

Young centre Jack Smith was back in action for Bradford as he continued his loan spell until the end of the season.

Smith last played for the Bulls in a 24-all draw with Barrow Raiders back at the start of August but made his return on the wing against Dewsbury in a convincing win for the home side. Nine tries steered Eamonn O'Carroll's side to back-to-back wins in the league as Romain Franco and Franklin Pele led the scoring with two scores each. Tom Holmes, Dan Smith, Tyran Ott, Keven Appo and Ebon Scurr also added tries to put the Bulls within range of second-placed Toulouse with four games left.

Overall, Jack Smith made 11 carries and two tackles across his 80 minutes on the field.

Leon Ruan - Hull FC vs Castleford Tigers

Before the black and whites head to AMT Headingley for this week's clash, round 24 saw Leon Ruan break back into Simon Grix's side for the visit of Castleford Tigers to the MKM Stadium.

Ten points separated the sides at half time as the Tigers took a 24-14 lead, before Craig Lingard's side ran away with the victory with the second half after Hull's Yusuf Aydin got sin binned.

After coming off the bench, Ruan played 63 out of the 80 minutes and contributed five carries for 66 metres, 22 tackles and three support plays as he made his fourth outing in black and white.

Corey Johnson - Halifax Panthers vs Doncaster RLFC

After playing for the Rhinos Reserves two weeks ago, Corey Johnson was back in a Halifax shirt for the club's trip to face Doncaster. Named on the bench, the Leeds hooker played 36 minutes, made six carries and also completed 20 tackles.

The game proved to be the Panthers' tightest game so far this season as a late drop goal from James Woodburn-Hall was the difference maker by full time. After holding a 10-0 lead on the road, Halifax let Doncaster come roaring back to level the score, before Woodburn-Hall added the clinching one-pointer.
