Coventry City FA Cup news from CoventryLive as life-long Sky Blues fan gives his take on Sunday's big semi-final at Wembley
Most polls have predicted a victory for Modi and the BJP.
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...
Sky will provide the only live coverage of Friday’s clash between Rhinos and Huddersfield Giants at AMT Headingley, as well as Leigh Leopards’ trip to Warrington Wolves the following afternoon. The weekend’s four other Super League matches will be broadcast live on SuperLeague+ - the competition’s own streaming service - as well as Sky Sports. Here’s where to find all this weekend’s live Betfred Super League action, with kick-off times and when coverage begins. Friday, April 19: Leeds Rhinos v...
Chris Kendall will referee Leeds Rhinos for the fourth time in nine competitive matches when they take on Huddersfield Giants at AMT Headingley on Friday. Marcus Griffiths is the video referee. Kendall is one of only three referees to take charge of a Rhinos game this season, alongside Aaron Moore (three times) and Jack Smith (twice). Other appointments for this weekend’s Betfred Super League fixtures are: Friday, April 19: Wigan Warriors v Castleford Tigers - James Vella (video Aaron Moore); St...
The German, whose side returned to winning ways with a thrilling 4-3 victory at Middlesbrough on Monday night to keep the pressure on their fellow promotion hopefuls, was expecting a busy day of preparation for Friday's visit to London. Leeds will face Queens Park Rangers in the first game of the weekend and have the opportunity to put a four-point gap between themselves and Ipswich, who play at Hull City on Saturday. Leicester, meanwhile, could stretch their own lead over Farke's men to four...
Rhinos have eight players ruled out or in doubt for Sunday’s game at Hull FC, who are second from bottom in the table and are currently without a head-coach. Leeds boss Rohan Smith has until noon on Friday to name a 21-man squad and will hope at least some of the injury victims could be back in contention for Rhinos’ rare weekend fixture. Here’s who is currently on the casualty roster.
Grix’ younger brother Simon Grix was placed in caretaker charge of Hull - alongside ex-Rhinos player Francis Cummins - following team boss Tony Smith’s departure two weeks ago. Smith, who had a hugely successful spell as Leeds’ coach from 2004-2007, is the uncle of current Rhinos boss Rohan Smith, so this Sunday’s clash was always set to be a family affair. But Rhinos began Betfred Super League round nine in eighth place on the table, two points outside the play-offs and with four defeats in...
Of the 11 players ruled out, only two are backs. Their pack problems have promoted Leeds to recall Leon Ruan, who can play in the front- or back-row and prop Tom Nicholson-Watton from loan in the Betfred Championship, but Justin Sangare is available after a ban and winger David Fusitu’a returns in the backs. Prop Olly Wilson’s availability following concussion gives Giants a boost. Here’s who is definitely unavailable and when they are expected back.
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...
Leon Ruan and Tom Nicholson-Watton are included after being recalled from loan spells in the Betfred Championship - with Doncaster and York Knights respectively - and fellow forward Justin Sangare is back in the squad following a one-match ban. Ex-New Zealand and Tonga Test winger David Fusitu’a has recovered from knee surgery and is set for his first appearance of 2024. Half-back Jack Sinfield and full-back Alfie Edgell both retain their squad place despite not featuring in the 21 against...
The 21-year-old made a brief appearance off the bench in the second half, after being recalled from a spell on loan at Betfred Championship club York Knights. He is regarded by Rhinos’ management as a player with a potentially bright future and Nicholson-Watton reflected: “It was nice to get on and get some Super League minutes under my belt. “I’ve been going quite well in the Championship and doing my bit there and it was nice to know I can come straight in. I trained well through the week and...
