Leeds Rhinos scored seven tries to overwhelm Hull and seal their fifth successive win in Super League.

The win meant the Rhinos moved into a share of the lead with the Bradford Bulls.

Hull started brightly and scored an opening try through Sean Ryan after two minutes.

Matt Adamson marked his return from injury with a try after nine minutes to haul Leeds back into the match, and Ben Walker's try soon after gave them the lead.

The Rhinos kept their momentum going with two other well-taken tries before half-time through Keith Senior and Tonie Carroll as the home side took a 20-10 at the break.

Hull wing Craig Poucher scored after the interval but the home side got back in the driving seat on 54 minutes when Sheridan jinked his way over for a solo try.

Mark Calderwood took a pass from substitute Jamie Jones-Buchanan's to finish strongly at the corner and second rower Andy Hay storming over two minutes from the end.
