Rhinos will make history when they take on arch-rivals St Helens in the first Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup showpiece played at the national stadium
And when finalists Hull KR and Leigh Leopards each sent four players and a coach to a press conference to preview the men’s big game, five of them were former Rhinos stars.
There’s also hefty Rhinos involvement in the third tie of the afternoon, the 1895 Cup final between Batley Bulldogs and Halifax Panthers.
Here’s all Rhinos’ connection to the men’s finals.
