Ten years ago, an under-strength Leeds Rhinos side were beaten 40-36 at London Broncos in what turned out to be the hosts’ only win of a disastrous 2014 Super League campaign.
The match was played a week before Rhinos’ Challenge Cup final against Castleford Tigers and coach Brian McDermott opted to give three rookies a debut while he rested key men for the big game. The Leeds careers of Ben White - now at Batley Bulldogs - and Ashton Golding, currently a Huddersfield Giants player, long since fizzled out, but Ash Handley is still going strong and is now a member of Leeds’ elite 200-game club.
Rhinos have won four of their six Betfred Super League fixtures so far and the next four - against Warrington Wolves, Huddersfield Giants, Hull FC and London Broncos - are an opportunity to kick on up the table. “They are different games against opponents who’ve all got different strengths,” Handley noted. “It is a big block coming up for us. We’ve got a few gaps with not being in the Challenge Cup, so we’ll take it one game at a time.
