Former NRL winner Paul Momirovski says Leeds Rhinos’ latest win points to a bright future for the club.
The ex-Penrith Panthers centre hailed 19 year olds Alfie Edgell and Ned McCormack for their contribution when an injury-hit side honoured Rob Burrow with an 18-10 victory over Leigh Leopards last week. With three-quarters Harry Newman, Ash Handley, Luis Roberts, Riley Lumb, Max Simpson and Matty Russell all on the casualty list, McCormack came in for a full debut and Alfie Edgell made his eighth senior appearance.
The club are now searching for a permanent replacement and Momirovski admitted the celebration of Burrow’s life and career overshadowed the first match without Rhinos’ former boss. “It was a bit different because of the emotion of game”, he said. “It was bigger than everything else going on, there was no feeling sorry for yourself. Celebrating Rob was the focus.” Momirovski stressed: “It was definitely an emotional night.
