Leeds Rhinos have a point to prove in Sunday’s Betfred Wheelchair Super League Grand Final against Wigan Warriors.
Rhinos are the reigning league leaders, but their last two finals have ended in defeat and coach James Simpson has challenged his side to show they can still handle the big occasion. Treble winners in 2021, when they beat Wigan in the Grand Final, Rhinos’ reign as champions was halted by Halifax Panthers in last year’s showpiece and they suffered Challenge Cup final disappointment against Catalans Dragons two months ago.
That Challenge Cup final changed the whole trajectory of our season and how I do things as a coach. “That is what has got us the league leaders’ and has got us to this final, beating the champions in the semi-final. It all stemmed from us losing that Challenge Cup final, for me personally as a coach.
