Leeds Rhinos' Mikolaj Oledzki had to turn off his club’s video nasty as they squeezed into the play-offs.
The England prop was today rewarded for his excellent form by being named in the Betfred Super League Dream Team for the first time.

Both teams were as bad as each other coughing up the ball and Rhinos looked like missing out on the top-six when trailing 8-0 late on.
But Aidan Sezer’s try in the dying seconds rescued their season, delivering a 14-8 success. They head to Catalans on Friday in a sudden-death eliminator but Oledzki revealed: “I went home and saw a few people say it wasn’t the prettiest game.
