Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR Preview

The Leeds Rhinos welcome Hull Kingston Rovers, perhaps better known simply as Hull KR, to the impressive new look Headingley Stadium for this West v East Yorkshire Derby.

Both of these 2 sides have lots of talent in their squads but for one reason of another, they have lacked that extra something you need to be a successful club in the Super League.

With the competitive nature of the Super League, belief, confidence and a long run without injuries can be just as important as having the best players in the league but over the past few years, these 2 sides just haven’t managed to put long runs of good form and wins together.

That puts you in the mix for been a mid-table side where a poor run can see you battling relegation or a good run can put you in the play-off mix and that is what makes this game so important as picking up points against those other teams in similar situations can really make or break a team’s season.

Stadium

Leeds’ Headingley Stadium is one of the most historic and iconic grounds in the competition but it is also one of the most modern.

Known for having one of the loudest fanbases and for having the biggest match day attendances in the league, Leeds matches at Headingley are always great occasions but that steps up when a team heads to Headingley with a big following and more often than not that is the case when the Robins are in town.

With a big crowd and lots of vocal support for both sides coupled with lots of quality and 2 teams going all out for the win, we have all we need for a great game and one that should be exciting from start to finish.

History

As two of the most historic Rugby League club sin England, there have actually been a surprising lack of major finals and big matches between these 2 Yorkshire rivals.

One game that went down in the history books came in the 2015 Challenge Cup final when it was Leeds who won by a record breaking 50 points to 0, in a game that saw former Hull FC star Tom Briscoe score a record breaking 5 tries much to the chagrin of all Robins supporters in the Wembley crowd.

The 2 sides have met in finals at the county level as well as the national level including the final of the 1975-76 Yorkshire Cup when Leeds ran out 15-11 winners in a tight match played at Headingley Stadium in Leeds.

It didn’t take long for the Robins to try and gain revenge for that loss as they also met in the final of the same competition in the 1980-81 season but they once again came up shot as Leeds one the match 8 points to 7 at Fartown Stadium in Huddersfield.
