Leeds Rhinos made it two home Super League wins out of two as they narrowly beat Catalans Dragons at Headingley.
Ash Handley opened the scoring on four minutes and Harry Newman also crossed to help Rhinos lead 10-2 at the break.
Chris Satae got one back for the visitors, converted by Arthur Mourgue, whose second penalty tied it at 10-10.
But Handley’s second try, improved by Rhyse Martin, who also kicked his third goal from a penalty helped the hosts ease home against 12 men.
Romain Navarette’s 74th-minute sin-binning was the fourth yellow card of the afternoon – and third for the Dragons.
