Leeds Rhinos have endured a seesaw campaign which has seen them hopelessly adrift of the Super League play-offs at points. But following the Rhinos’ win over Wigan Warriors last weekend, there remains a chance.
Ahead of a big match against Warrington Wolves at Magic Weekend this Saturday, here is the latest news from Peter Smith on the Rhinos including some off-the-field updates.
Leeds Rhinos transfer news
A first team player is set to leave Leeds Rhinos at the end of this season.
Peter Smith of National World understands three-quarter Luis Roberts will move on when his contract expires in the autumn. Roberts joined Leeds from Leigh ahead of the 2023 season and has scored five tries in 21 games.
His most recent appearance was away to St Helens on May 24, but he touched down twice for Rhinos reserves in a 40-30 loss to Wigan Warriors at Headingley last weekend.
Several clubs are believed to be interested in the 22-year-old winger or centre, who has also played for Salford Red Devils, Swinton Lions, Widnes Vikings and on loan at Bradford Bulls last year.
National World also understands Leeds are not planning an approach to Salford for their former captain Kallum Watkins. Recent reports suggested Rhinos are keen to re-sign the ex-centre who is now playing in the second-row.
But National World has been told that is not the case and speculation linking Leeds with Brisbane Broncos forward Martin Taupau is also wide of the mark.
