Leeds climbed off the bottom of the Betfred Super League standings after beating Catalans Dragons 31-12 at Headingley.
Three tries in the opening 17 minutes from Adam Cuthbertson, Tom Briscoe and Brad Singleton, combined with second-half scores from Konrad Hurrell and Jack Walker, helped push the relegation-threatened Rhinos up to ninth.
Catalans had threatened a fightback when, from 18-0 down, they reduced the gap to just six points thanks to tries from Arthur Romano and Sam Tomkins either side of half-time.
But Hurrell's 66th-minute effort halted the away side's recovery as the Dragons slumped to their fifth loss in a row.
The French side are in freefall and have now dropped out of the top five after losing four Super League games and a Challenge Cup tie in the past month.
