Leeds Rhinos have reclaimed the top spot in the Super League standings following a commanding victory over St Helens. The win, which saw Leeds score six tries, positions them strongly for a potential top-two finish and a semi-final playoff bye. In a poignant moment for rugby league, Jai Arrow made an emotional appearance for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, marking his 99th game just three months after his motor neurone disease diagnosis. This appearance allows him to reach his 100-game milestone next week, a testament to his resilience and the sport's supportive community.
Elsewhere in the Super League, Wigan Warriors also secured a dominant win against Hull KR, moving to the top of the table on points difference after a night dedicated to honoring the late Sir Billy Boston. Catalans Dragons overcame a power outage delay to defeat Castleford Tigers, while Huddersfield Giants upset Leigh Leopards with a five-try performance. These results continue to shape the playoff picture as the regular season nears its conclusion.
