Breaks for Challenge Cup rounds have frustrated Leeds Rhinos this season, but the latest feels like a blessing.
Though Rhinos’ women have a huge game coming up at Wembley this weekend, rugby has been low on many fans’ priority list amid overwhelming shock and sadness at the death of one of the club’s favourite sons, Rob Burrow. A men’s fixture this weekend would have been difficult for players and supporters alike, but after a week of mourning attention will turn to the next match, at Hull FC on Saturday, June 15. Here’s five talking points.
The club are keeping tight-lipped, but one name being mentioned as a possible contender is Salford Red Devils chief executive Ian Blease. 3: Cas-tastrophe averted. There were dire predictions of an epic defeat last weekend, but Rhinos got the job done against a very poor Castleford Tigers side. Leeds dominated throughout and beating anyone 32-4 in Betfred Super League is a decent result.
