Kruise Leeming’s latest column for the Yorkshire Evening Post on all things Leeds Rhinos.

I travelled to Catalans with the team and it was an unbelievable evening in south-west France.

It’s strange because you never want to have a player sent off but I think if Priz - that’s Matt Prior - hadn’t got a red card, we wouldn’t have won that game.

It spurred us on and, to be honest, Catalans maybe took their eye off the ball a bit as well.

When we were down to 12 we had to work harder or it could have gotten embarrassing.

That was probably the first thing then, once we got a couple of tries on the board, everyone started thinking ‘hang on a minute, we might be onto something here’.

It is always nice fighting back like that because you get some momentum and the opposition find it hard to stop.

That’s what it looked like, watching the game. They couldn’t halt our momentum and all we needed to do was keep hold of the ball.

If we did that, we were going to score and score and score. That’s what we did; we kept hold of it, got on the front foot and they couldn’t stop us.
