Leeds Rhinos head for Lake District mid-season camp ahead of pivotal Super League clash v Hull KR
Super League leaders Leeds Rhinos are going on a mid-season camp ahead of another huge game next week.
Rhinos moved two points clear at the top of the table following a 34-6 win at second-placed Warrington Wolves yesterday (Thursday). Hull KR - who are third, six points behind Leeds before they play host to Leigh Leopards this evening - visit AMT Headingley next Friday.
“It’s another big game next week,” Rhinos coach Brad Arthur admitted. “We are just going to enjoy the [last night’s] win and enjoy the weekend. We are so fortunate, we are going away on a little overnight camp over the weekend and the club is really good in terms of giving us the resources to make sure they give this team the opportunity to perform at their best on a weekly basis.”
Arthur revealed: “We are going into the Lake District. We will take the boys for a bit of a walk and have a couple of beers [on Friday] afternoon and then regroup ready for training.”
Rhinos are expecting a season’s-best crowd of more than 17,000 for Friday’s showdown which is their annual motor neurone disease awareness game. The club say seating has “virtually sold out”and with fewer than 1,500 standing places remain across the South and East Stands.
