In-form Leeds Rhinos winger Ash Handley paid an emotional tribute to much-loved club legend Rob Burrow following Saturday’s Magic Weekend victory over Castleford Tigers.
Burrow’s daughters Macy and Maya visited Rohan Smith team in their St James’ Park dressing room to explain the special shirt they had designed for the occasion – to raise awareness and funds for their father’s Motor Neurone Disease campaign – before watching on as the Rhinos cruised to a 34-20 success.
Handley scored one of Leeds’ six tries and then spoke of his admiration for ex-team-mate Burrow, who helped Leeds to their eighth Super League title in his final game for the club in the 2017 Grand Final win over Castleford Tigers.
