Two tries each for Scott Donald and Keith Senior saw a full-strength Leeds warm up for their World Club Challenge with a thumping home win over Catalans.
Catalans took the lead through Demitri Pelo, but first-half scores from Donald, Senior and Ian Kirke put the Rhinos in charge at the interval.
Donald touched down for his second after the break, soon followed by tries from Danny McGuire and Senior.
And Kiwi Ali Lauitiiti stepped off the bench for the final score of the game.
Leeds coach Brian McClennan:
"It was good to come away with another win. Not only to get the two points but it was a pretty good performance in what was a scrappy kind of game.

"But we've come through it unscathed and now we've got the big one coming up next week.
"It has been a long time coming. The big concern was that we would come out of the game with some injuries but we didn't."
Catalans coach Mick Potter on the World Club Challenge clash with the Melbourne Storm:
"Being an Australian, I would like to see Melbourne do all right - but I think it will be very tight.
"Both sides have got some very good players. Leeds are well disciplined and they know their strengths.
"They play with so much variety and they'll test Melbourne right to the end. It will be a good game but I wouldn't like to make a prediction."
