Brad Arthur sees signs of the reliable Leeds Rhinos he has been building in Warrington Wolves win

Whether they talk about standards, culture or identity, the objective is usually the same: building a team that can be trusted.

Brad Arthur has been refreshingly direct on that front.

For much of this season, the Leeds Rhinos head coach has spoken about reliability above all else – the ability to produce the same performance regardless of the opponent, venue or occasion.

Thursday's 34-6 victory over Warrington Wolves offered the clearest example yet of what Arthur has been asking for.

A month on from a disappointing defeat at Wigan Warriors, Leeds produced their most complete away performance of the season.

Arthur did not arrive at the Halliwell Jones Stadium chasing a statement win but confirmation that his message is taking hold. He left with both.

"I liked the fact that the team is becoming very reliable," he said.

"The boys can look around the dressing sheds and know exactly what they're going to get from their team-mates, which is a big thing. That helps build a bit of belief so I'm pleased about that.

"Our away games haven't been bad but they probably haven't had as much importance as our home games so we had a bit of a focus over the past couple of weeks on being a bit more professional around our away performances.

"If we can play at that level, with that intensity, teams will have to be at their best to beat us.

"I'm ever-grateful to the boys because they're buying into everything we're asking them to do. That's a big reason why I wanted to stay and keep coaching them."

Leeds had too often left their Headingley form behind when they hit the road but this was a night when it all came together.

Winning at Warrington is one thing; dismantling a side that had not lost at home all season is quite another.

Maika Sivo maintained his remarkable try-scoring record with a fifth hat-trick of the year to take his haul to 27, while Brodie Croft added one more to his impressive tally against his future employers.

There were also tries for Harry Newman and Chris Hankinson but it was Lachie Miller who stole the show on his return from suspension.

Fresh from three weeks off, the Australian full-back underlined his value to the Rhinos in a match that pitted the best defence against the best attack. That contest was settled long before the final hooter.

Unlike the previous week against Toulouse Olympique and other away performances, there were no defensive switch-offs to leave them sweating over the result – even accounting for Matty Ashton's late try.

There were shades of Leeds' Las Vegas demolition of Hull KR, even if the scoreboard never reached the same heights.

Next up for the Rhinos is a date with the defending champions under the lights at Headingley.

Arthur will continue laying the foundations for a reliable team between now and then.

"It's another big game next week," he said. "But we're just going to enjoy the win and enjoy the weekend.

"We're so fortunate to be going away on a little overnight camp. The club is really good in terms of giving us the resources to make sure they give this team the opportunity to perform at their best on a weekly basis.

"We're going into the Lake District. We will take the boys for a bit of a walk and have a couple of beers on Friday afternoon and then regroup ready for training."
