The latest quartet were introduced this month when Fred Harris, Roy Powell, Francis Cummins and Jamie Jones-Buchanan joined Rhinos’ most exclusive club. To be eligible for the Hall of Fame, individuals must have played at least 150 games for Leeds, made an ‘exceptional contribution’ to rugby in the city and achieved representative honours during their playing career. Here’s a full list of current members, in the order they were inducted.
