Rugby League News – keeping you up to date with the latest news from the world of rugby league.
It has been a busy 24 hours with major stories breaking from Super League and the NRL.
Here is a round-up of everything that has happened…
Schofield’s Leeds warning
Leeds Rhinos legend Garry Schofield has sent out a warning to the Leeds Rhinos ahead of their next few games, the Yorkshire Evening Post has reported.
Schofield was also unhappy with the halfback pairing of Aidan Sezer and Blake Austin. He said: “We tried (at halfback) with Richie Myler, failed; we tried with Robert Lui, failed; we tried Luke Gale, failed and Tui Lolohea, failed. Now with these two, the jigsaw is still puzzled. Can these two do it week in and week out to get Leeds to where they want to be? No, I don’t think they can. That search is still going on, because I don’t think these two are the answer.”

Huddersfield Giants star Leroy Cudjoe has spoken to the Daily Mirror about his stammer and his life in rugby league.
