Leeds Rhinos: Kevin Sinfield & Jamie Peacock eye perfect ending

Even Leeds’ remarkable feats thus far, such as winning the Grand Final from a final position of fifth for two seasons running, would be overshadowed by winning the treble.

Last season’s Challenge Cup success against Castleford ended a miserable run for Leeds after five consecutive final defeats but their league campaign faltered afterwards, slipping out of the play-offs at the first hurdle with defeat by Catalans.

The Rhinos will be looking for consistency and stamina in their pursuit of the treble, and the potential to keep the Challenge Cup for another season.

Sinfield: “Whether you’ve been here 10 years or it’s your first season, everyone’s aware of the opportunity, you realise the history of the club and where we’ve been – we know what this next two months could look like.

“For the next six weeks, we’ve never had an opportunity as a club like this before.

“What is available to us if we can be good enough is huge, so I don’t want to take my eye off the ball.”

Peacock: “It would be great if we could do that. I think we’ve got a huge challenge in front of ourselves with Hull KR.

“We’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for them as a team and some of the players they’ve got are outstanding.

“We know what’s in front of us, if we’re able to do it. It’s a fair effort considering where we’ve been in the Challenge Cup previous to 2014.”
