Leeds Rhinos' pivotal final round clash selected for Sky Sports broadcast

Leeds Rhinos' final-day clash with Castleford Tigers has been selected for TV by Sky Sports. The game, which will still take place on Saturday, September 3rd, with 3PM kick-off.

The game could prove to be pivotal in the race for the play-offs. As it stands, both clubs are battling it out with Salford for a place in the top six with two games remaining. The game could in theory, but a dead rubber, should Leeds win in Catalans and Salford beat the Tigers on Monday. But as it stands it threatens to be a top six decider for both teams.

The Rhinos have been on Sky more than any other team this season and that could extend further, especially with a place in the play-offs growing increasingly likely. They will also be on the box when they play in Perpignan on Monday.
