Leeds celebrate Rob Burrow and underline title credentials with rout of Hull KR

Leeds Rhinos 34-8 Hull KR

Statement victory comes at annual MND fixture

On the night Leeds Rhinos came together as one to remember one of their all-time greats, they produced an occasion Rob Burrow would no doubt have relished.

Their annual motor neurone disease (MND) awareness fixture was once again an emotional occasion, spearheaded by the plentiful pre-match tributes to Burrow two years on from his passing. Leeds’s highest crowd since 2020 witnessed not just a fitting occasion, but another resounding statement about the Rhinos’ title credentials.
