27 brilliant pictures as Leeds Rhinos fans pack Headingley for Rob Burrow tribute

It was the biggest Super League crowd for six years 👏

A bumper crowd partied in the stands at AMT Headingley last night (Friday) as Leeds Rhinos paid a fitting tribute to club icon Rob Burrow.

Rhinos went two points clear at the top of Betfred Super League with a thumping 34-8 win against reigning champions Hull KR in Leeds' annual motor neurone disease (MND) awareness game.

Tributes were paid to Burrow before the match and his children Macy, Maya and Jackson delivered the game ball to referee Chris Kendall.

The game was watched by more than 18,000 fans, which was the biggest Super League attendance at the ground for six years - and most of them went home delighted by an outstanding Rhinos display.

Our photographer Steve Riding was out and about amongst fans at the game - here are the best pictures.
