Leeds Rhinos made a disastrous start to their Betfred Super League campaign when they were crushed 30-4 at home by Hull in round one. So what is likely to be on coach Richard Agar’s agenda this week ahead of Sunday's visit to Huddersfield Giants?

1: Discipline. Rhinos conceded 11 penalties and received only five. A run of penalties against them at the start of the second half proved particularly costly, swinging the momentum back in Hull’s favour after Leeds had an early chance. Being marched 10 metres for dissent took one of those into kicking range and that sort of thing is unacceptable.

2: The middle. Hull’s pack was too strong and, with Ava Seumanufagai missing through injury and only one prop on the bench, Rhinos couldn’t stop their big men going forward or make enough metres themselves.
