Warrington Wolves won 14-12 to book their place in next Saturday’s Grand Final at Old Trafford, but Rhinos’ under-strength team gave their all in front of a passionate crowd of more than 16,000 at AMT Headingley. It was a cruel end to a season of progress for Rhinos, who said farewell to six departing players.
As usual, iconic photographer Steve Riding was at the game to capture all the atmosphere. Here are 28 of his best pictures.
