I support the leeds rhinoes so it is only natural for me to say they are the best team in the world. And that the bradford bulls are the worst. This is just a little bit of info on them.

RHINOS WELCOME BACK ELLIS Great Britain international Gareth Ellis returns for Leeds Rhinos for their Carnegie Challenge Cup Fifth Round tie at Harlequins RL this Sunday. HEADINGLEY CARNEGIE INSIGHT In this weeks edition of Headingley Carnegie Insight Brian McClennan looks ahead to his side’s trip to Harlequins RL this Sunday in the Carnegie Challenge Cup. Leeds Rhinos are one of the most famous names in world Rugby League having been one of the founder clubs of the game in 1895.

Leeds have won the Championship five times, the Challenge Cup on eleven occasions and in 2005 became World Champions for the first time in the club’s history. The team are coached by former New Zealand international coach Brian McClennan who joined the club in 2007 and they are captained by Kevin Sinfield, who after leading the team to a second Super League title in 2007, is the club’s most successful ever captain.

Kevs Leeds Career : In 2007 Kevin Sinfield became the first Leeds captain to ever lead his side to two Championship titles. His rise at the club, from making his breakthrough from the Academy side in 1997 as a 16 year old to leading the team to their best period in over thirty years, has been remarkable and still only 27 there is still plenty to come from the Oldham born player. Last season he was inspirational throughout and never failed to perform, becoming the first Rhino to ever score in every round of Super League with 113 goals. Kevin has been part of the Rhinos squad for almost ten years and since making his debut in 1997 as a 16 year old he has grown into an inspirational captain who has led the team to their most successful period in over thirty years. In 2005, Kevin became the first Leeds captain ever to lift the World Club Challenge trophy and led his side back to the Powergen Challenge Cup and Grand Final. In 2005 he missed just five games after dislocating his thumb mid-season. He was recognised for his achievements by being named as the Rhinos Player of the Year. He scored 328 points in all competitions in 2005 and narrowly missed out on the top spot as the league’s top points scorer. 2005 also marked a momentous milestone for Kevin as he became only the 11th player in the history of the club to surpass 1,000 points in a career. That places him fifth in the all time list for Leeds. Kevin has always been recognised as an extremely special player since he joined the Rhinos in 1996 and made his debut whilst still a 16-year-old against Sheffield at Headingley in 1997. A brilliantly gifted footballer he has already achieved so much in his short career that many believe he will go on to be one of the true greats of the game. Kevin was part of the squad that made it to the 1999 and 2000 Challenge Cup Final, only to miss out on a place in the Final line up. However, he fought back from that disappointment to captain the Rhinos in the 2003 Final at Cardiff. Such was his progression at the club that he was awarded the Leeds Rhinos captaincy for 2003 after becoming a first choice regular at the club. Adapt at playing either loose forward or stand off, and is an astute goal kicker who is constantly amongst the top points scorers in the league. Kevin has been an essential part of the Rhinos success, having finished the 2004 season as the Super League’s top goal scorer with 152 goals and 3 drop goals he led the side to their first ever Grand Final victory. In 2006 Kevin once again led the way as top points scorer with 223, which would have undoubtedly have been more had he not missed part of the season once again through injury.
