The hosts had dominated the opening 40 minutes, scoring three tries, before they succumbed to a third Super League defeat from their opening three games.
“Leigh attacked extremely well,” said Rhinos coach Rohan Smith.
“Some of their edge combinations were sharp and they got us but overall there weren’t a lot of plays in the game where they troubled us too much aside from those really good plays. They got the reward for it in that first half.
“We spoke at half-time about being a bit more direct and tackling with a little more intent. We did that in the second half and then the physical battle clearly went our way.
