Aaron Moore will be in charge of a Rhinos game for the fourth time this season when they play host to London Broncos on Friday. Liam Rush is his video assistant. Chris Kendall has also been in the middle for four Rhinos games in 2024, Jack Smith has done two and Rush one. Other appointments for Betfred Super League round 10 are: Wigan Warriors v Catalans Dragons - Jack Smith (video James Vella); Huddersfield Giants v Salford Red Devils - Tom Grant (video Chris Kendall); Warrington Wolves v Hull...
The game completes Betfred Super League round nine and, like all other top-flight fixtures, will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Because it is not one of Sky’s two main matches, live coverage will also be available on the competition’s streaming service SuperLeague+. Here’s where and when to watch all the latest Super League action. Thursday, April 25: St Helens v Huddersfield Giants, Sky Sports Action (from 7.30pm, 8pm kick-off).

The 36-year-old winger announced today (Sunday) he will leave Hull KR at the end of this season after four years with the East Yorkshire side. Hall is the fifth-highest try scorer in Leeds’ history and is three away from equalling former Rhinos and Hull KR teammate Danny McGuire’s all-time Super League record of 247. Rhinos have not confirmed a report from Rugby League Live which says Hall will rejoin them next season on a one-year contract before taking up an off-field role with the club....
Rhinos, who beat Wigan Warriors 21-8 in last year’s final at Salford Stadium, will need to top their group at Warrington’s Victoria Park on Sunday, May 4, to qualify automatically for finals day. That will be held on Saturday, July 27, at a venue yet to be decided. Next month’s festival includes all eight Betfred Women’s Super League sides, plus teams from the regional Championships, with the four group winners and two best runners-up going through. Midlands Women’s Championship sides Telford...
Rhinos begin their Betfred Women’s Super League campaign at home to Huddersfield Giants on Friday (5.30pm), in a curtain-raiser to the men’s clash between the same clubs. It is Dainton’s second season with Leeds after she switched codes from Harlequins rugby union and the 36-year-old forward has committed herself to league, with the blessing of her Army bosses. “I am quite lucky at the minute, they just let me play rugby,” she said. “Unless I am called into work I have free rein to train,...
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.
Paul Momirovski has been ruled out after injuring an ankle in last week’s win at Hull FC and joins fellow centre Harry Newman and winger David Fusitu’a on the casualty list. Another winger, Ash Handley, is in the 21-man squad, but remains a doubt and if he doesn’t play Leeds could have two 19-year-old rookies in their back-five. Here’s how Rhinos might line up as they aim for a first win in five home games, against Betfred Super League’s bottom team.
Outside-back Riley Lumb and second-row Ben Littlewood have been drafted into Rhinos’ initial squad for today’s (Sunday) visit to Hull FC and will make their debut if selected. The 21 also includes full-back Alfie Edgell, with two Betfred Super League appearances to his name and centre Ned McCormack who made his first team debut against Warrington Wolves earlier this month. A fifth 19-year-old in the squad is half-back Jack Sinfield. He is yet to appear this season, but has featured 11 times...
Rhinos today (Monday) confirmed Hall will rejoin them in 2025 on a one-season deal, seven years after he last played for the club where he scored 231 tries in 330 games from 2007-2018. Hall, who turns 37 in November, will combine playing duties next season with a role on Rhinos’ commercial staff, before hanging up his boots at the end of the campaign. Though Hall’s quality is undoubted – and he is still playing well for Hull KR this season, in the final months of his deal there – his age makes...
Lumb scored two of Leeds’ three tries in last Sunday’s 18-12 win at Hull FC and, with Rhinos’ first-choice wingers and both centres on the casualty list, is set to keep his place against Betfred Super League’s bottom-placed team. The 19-year-old revealed treating it like any other match was the key to his first senior appearance and will take the same approach this week, if selected. “I am happy with how I played,” Lumb reflected. “I worked hard in training and I was just happy to be out on the...
Lumb’s fantastic all-round effort would have lit up a much better game than this horrible affair between one very poor side and another playing well below what its capable of. The 19-year-old’s first touchdown was a belter as he accelerated on to Paul Momirovski’s pass and beat three defenders with some outstanding footwork. As well as grabbing another, he was also involved in holding a Hull player up over Leeds’ line, made several strong carries and at least one outstanding catch. It was as...
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...
