Hull are also understood to be close to signing former Leeds Rhinos winger Tom Briscoe from the same club, with back Derrell Olpherts going the other way. Briscoe played for Hull from 2008-2013 and then had nine seasons with Leeds before joining Leigh ahead of the 2023 campaign. He is a former Rhinos teammate of Hull’s new director of rugby Richie Myler. Chamberlain, who can operate in the outside-backs and back-row, has also played for Salford Red Devils and London Broncos. The 28-year-old made...
The two-time Grand Final winner, who played for Leeds from 2005-2008, left Hull at the end of last season after spells as a player, football manager, reserve team boss and assistant-coach. He had been working for charity Rugby League Cares and has rejoined the performance staff in an unspecified role on a three-year contract. The 42-year-old said: “The last six months has allowed me to have some time away from the game and now I come back with a completely fresh mind. My time working with Rugby...
President Joe Biden’s latest plan for student loan cancellation is moving forward as a proposed regulation, offering him a fresh chance to deliver on a campaign promise and energize young voters ahead of the November election. The Education Department on Tuesday filed paperwork for a new regulation that would deliver the cancellation the Democratic president announced last week. The regulation has to go through a public comment period and another review before it can be finalized. The regulation...
The second-rower is one of four senior forwards definitely ruled out of Friday’s visit of Huddersfield Giants in Betfred Super League. Bentley missed Rhinos last game, against Warrington Wolves two weeks ago, after failing a head injury assessment during the Easter win at Castleford Tigers. He also sat out the final month of last season, after being concussed in a game at Huddersfield and Smith admitted another head injury is “not ideal for sure and something we are getting expert assistance...
Hall will be 37 by the time he pulls on a Rhinos jersey next season, seven years after his previous appearance for the club. Despite his status as the fifth-highest try scorer in Leeds’ history, eyebrows were raised when Hall was signed for the final year of his playing career. However, Smith insisted the current Hull KR winger is being brought back because of what he can offer on and off the field. “We’ve been looking for experienced players to complement the youth that are coming through,”...
Nigel Martyn insists Leeds United must win both of their remaining games to stand a chance of achieving automatic promotion in one of the most exciting Championship campaigns in recent memory. Leeds found their feet again in the race with a dramatic 4-3 win at Middlesbrough on Monday evening, Crysencio Summerville’s brace bookending goals from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto. A late Emmanuel Latte Lath header made it nervy but Daniel Farke’s men held out to take all three points and go...
Rhinos have won four of their seven Betfred Super League matches so far and boast a 50 per cent record in all competitions going into Friday’s visit of Frawley’s former club Huddersfield Giants. “In terms of the start of the year, it probably has been a mixed bag,” the 29-year-old pivot reflected. “We’ve got a group of players and a coaching staff who really care and want results straight away and want to be hitting the ground running, which is really important. But in reality there’s been a lot...
The Leeds-born prop was brought in on Tuesday to begin a two-week deal, but suffered an injury in the final training session ahead of Friday’s visit of London Broncos and is now in doubt for next week’s game at Leigh Leopards. Speaking at his weekly preview press conference this morning (Thursday), coach Craig Lingard said: “Sam has unfortunately just pulled up in the team run today, so he's going to be missing this week. “That's a bit of a blow for us. We brought him in for a reason, to give us...
Rhinos have lost their last three home games in all competitions - including a 34-8 drubbing by Warrington Wolves last time out - and are Betfred Super League’s joint-fourth lowest scorers, with just 116 points from seven matches. Giants, in contrast, are on the back of a stunning 34-6 win at Super League leaders Catalans Dragons in the Challenge Cup last weekend. That was their fourth successive victory and they have scored at least 50 points in three of their last six games. They are sixth in...
