Leeds Rhinos forward Lachie Miller has expressed absolute conviction that his squad will secure a place in the Super League Grand Final, despite being ruled out of the remainder of the season through injury.
The Rhinos saw their path to the top spot in the regular season close following a 18-12 defeat against Hull FC at Headingley in the final round of fixtures. The loss means Leeds will now have to navigate the elimination finals to book their ticket to the decider.
Miller’s absence is a significant blow for the club, prompting the coaching staff to shift Ash Handley to the fullback position to cover for him. Although Miller will not be on the field, his faith in his teammates remains unshaken as they prepare for the high-stakes knockout stage.
Leeds Rhinos are set to face Warrington Wolves in an upcoming match for a spot in the Super League Grand Final. The crucial clash will be broadcast live on Sky Sports on Friday, September 25, with a scheduled kick-off time of 8pm.
Warrington away in an elimination final sounds brutal. Can the back line hold up without Miller leading the line?
Wait, did Leeds actually lose to Hull FC? That’s wild. I thought they had this season locked down already.
Great leadership from Miller. Losing a star to injury is tough, but his belief shows real character.
