TALKING RUGBY LEAGUE

LEEDS RHINOS were magnificent last Thursday night against Hull KR, especially in the first half, when they built up an 18-0 half-time lead.
That 40 minutes was their best performance at Headingley since that remarkable performance against Leigh in June last year.
On that occasion the game took place soon after the sad death of Rob Burrow, with his family witnessing an incredibly motivated performance by the Rhinos.
Last Thursday night Rob’s family were again at Headingley and the Rhinos responded by playing like a team for whom winning was the only option.
They were there for a very special reason. Rob’s third and final documentary, “There’s Only One Rob Burrow”, has made the final five for the National TV Awards and there has been a huge response from the public giving their support to the Burrow family to help secure the award at the live televised National TV Awards on Wednesday 10th September.
