Harry Newman and Mikolaj Oledzki were standout performers for the Rhinos in Rivals Round Returns.
Both players crossed for a try each and together, made just shy of 240 metres and eight tackle busts.
Oledzki also stood tall in defence with 28 tackles as he helped to keep the Giants scoreless.

Also on Thursday Night, captain Ben Garcia led by example his side's victory at Salford. The Catalans workhorse came up with one try assist, 145 metres, six tackle busts and 37 tackles.
Four Warriors feature in Team of the Week after a dazzling performance in The Derby on Friday Night.
Jai Field lit up the Totally Wicked Stadium with a trademark length of the field try, 263 metres, seven tackle busts, as well as three clean breaks.
And of course, it was teammate Bevan French who assisted Field's try, as the iconic duo were on fire against their fierce rivals with their carefree connection clear on show for all to see.
French has shone on his recent return from injury – and Wigan have picked up three wins from three since the Warriors wizard has been back in the side…
Field also moves level with Lewis Martin in first place in the Super League try scoring charts (22 tries). Will he go on to pip this accoloade at the final hurdle?

Meanwhile, Ethan Havard and Kaide Ellis worked tirelessly in the pack and completed a combined total of 67 tackles.
Leigh Leopards’ right edge appears in this week’s Team of the Week. Umyla Hanley and Keanan Brand are proving to be a very dangerous combination as the Leopards become lively at just the right time.
Hanley starred in Rivals Round Returns – the electric centre racked up 223 metres, 14 tackles busts and three clean breaks.
Not only did he assist two thirds of Brand’s hat-trick on Saturday, but he also crossed for the game-sealing try himself. This perfect pair will be valuable in Leigh's Play-Off upcoming run...
First time was so nice, Keanan Brand just had to do it twice ?

Alex Mellor produced a stellar showing against his arch-rivals. Arguably, Castleford Tigers produced their best performance of the season and this was heavily inspired by Mellor who contributed one try, 115 metres, six tackle busts and 22 tackles as emotions were heightened at the OneBore Stadium.
Likewise, Chris Atkin put in an exceptinal performance on Friday, dotting down for the Tigers' opening try which would open the floodgates for four more and leave Trinity reeling.
It was Derby Day Delight for the Robins on Sunday with Jez Litten and Tom Davies providing crucial scores to win the 50th Super League Hull Derby.
Davies raced 191 metres and made five tackle busts, while Litten was sturdy in defence with 28 tackles, before taunting through the Black & Whites’ defensive line with seven tackle busts.
The Robins have one hand on the League Leaders' Shield after this win against their nearest and dearest...
Spotting a gap in the defence ?
