How to watch Leigh Leopards v Leeds Rhinos plus Wakefield Trinity v St Helens & Hull KR v Castleford Tigers
The battle for the play-offs is reaching a crucial stage and Leeds Rhinos begin what could be a pivotal weekend when they visit Leigh Leopards tomorrow (Thursday).
After two defeats in their last three games, another loss would virtually end Rhinos’ hopes of catching third-placed Leigh, but they will be back in the hunt - and return to the top-four, for 24 hours at least - if they win. Coach Brad Arthur’s side are still without injured props Mikolaj Oledzki and Tm Holroyd and winger Alfie Edgell has joined the casualty list, but fit-again Morgan Gannon is set to return and new signing Chris Hankinson could make his debut.
The game has been chosen as one of Sky TV’s exclusive picks for Betfred Super League round 21, which means a full 30-minute build-up to kick off on two of the broadcaster’s main channels.
The following evening the side currently sixth, Wakefield Trinity, play host to fourth-placed St Helens, while third-bottom Castleford Tigers visit table-topping Hull KR on Saturday. Both matches will be shown live via the Sky Sports+ red button and on the competition’s own streaming service SuperLeague+.
