The traditional World Club weekend returned with the bottom four of 2018 also facing off due to their early Challenge Cup entry clashing with the rest of Round 10.
In attendance on Sunday evening as Sydney Roosters become World Champions with a 20-8 win over Wigan Warriors at the DW Stadium.
A rapid start from the NRL side saw Brett Morris cross twice inside nine minutes with Siosiua Taukeiaho converting the latter for a 10-0 lead. Wigan hit back on 20 minutes with a Tom Davies try before Morris completed his hat-trick for a 14-4 half-time advantage.
A Taukeiaho penalty goal on the hour mark made it 16-4 with Wigan closing the gap five minutes later through Liam Marshall's acrobatic try at 16-8 but to no avail as the Roosters sealed the win on 77 minutes through Daniel Tupou.
London Broncos' mixed start continued as they fell to a 22-12 at Hull Kingston Rovers. Rovers raced out of the blocks with Kane Linnett crossing for 4-0 inside three minutes. London levelled with a Matt Gee try on ten minutes with Kieran Dixon's conversion giving them a 6-4 lead.
The advantage lasted into the interval but just seven minutes after the restart, KR turned it around with tries from Mitch Garbutt and Craig Hall converted by Josh Drinkwater and Hall for 16-8 before a second from Garbutt and Hall conversion extended the lead to 22-6. The final say on the score went to London though as Jay Pitts touched down six minutes from the end with a Dixon conversion for 22-12.
Leeds Rhinos claimed their first win of the season with a comfortable 46-14 win over Salford Red Devils at the AJ Bell Stadium. The hosts struck first with Joey Lussick crossing and Ken Sio converting for 6-0 inside seven minutes. Leeds hit back through Adam Cuthbertson and Jack Walker, Tui Lolohea converting both for a 12-6 advantage on 20 minutes.
Konrad Hurrell touched down two minutes later with Lolohea's kick making it 18-6 into the interval, Josh Jones cut the gap after the restart, Sio converting for 18-12. Both sides exchanged penalties with Lolohea kicking on 51 minutes and Sio on 58 for 20-14. The Rhinos took control with a second score from Hurrell ahead of a Matt Parcell try and Walker crossing twice to complete his hat-trick, Lolohea converting three times for 42-14. The rout was rounded off on 71 minutes by Ash Handley's try.
