Rhinos, who had held the trophy since 2019, were outplayed 66-20 by Catalans Dragons in Sunday’s final at the English Institute of Sport, Sheffield. After trailing 18-0 early on, Leeds cut the gap to eight points, but two tries just before the break proved crucial. Catalans led 30-10 at half-time and never looked like losing their big advantage in the second period. Rhinos’ try scorers were Nathan Mullhall, Josh Butler, Nathan Collins – who tagged on two goals – and captain Jodie Boyd-Ward.
