Leeds Rhinos legend names the Super League club he’d love to have played for

Leeds Rhinos legend Jamie Peacock has named the Super League side he wishes he had played for before retirement.

Peacock played almost 300 times in Super League for Leeds Rhinos, as well as 200 with Bradford Bulls and a handful for Hull KR.

With Hull KR, he acted as a player-coach, coming out of retirement, but ultimately couldn’t stop them from slipping into the Championship.

He will also be inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame next month, alongside St Helens legend Paul Sculthorpe and Great Britain icons Jane Banks and Michelle Land.

In his time with Leeds and Bradford, he won nine Grand Finals and five League Leaders’ Shields, but there’s still more he would have liked to do in Super League.

Jamie Peacock has revealed, in a piece for the Mirror: “If I could have played on forever, I’d have loved to have joined Catalans Dragons and done a stint in Perpignan.

“That’s if they’d have had me, of course! I’m a big fan of what they have done over in France and I do believe it’s essential we have a French presence in Betfred Super League. It emerged this week that Les Dracs are planning to take a game to Paris in 2026 which is another great idea.”

A game in Paris, marking the 20th anniversary of Super League in Perpignan, could come before a potential game in Barcelona.

He continued: “I am also a big fan of them hopefully making it a double-header. With Catalans versus Wigan already lined up, how good would it be to see Leeds face Hull KR, for example, on the same bill? Who knows, Toulouse could be back in Super League by then which would also add to it all.

“Super League needs big events. And taking two games to the French capital and home of the 2024 Olympics would definitely be one. It’s important we do all we can to support them.”
