Leeds Rhinos supporters have been given further insight into their fixture list than any of their rivals after a technicality in the schedule. On Wednesday evening, every club revealed their first home game of the 2023 campaign, meaning most clubs now know their opening two games of the campaign.
For Leeds, however, they know a little bit more. Super League champions St Helens do not play in round one of the season as they are de to be involved in the World Club Challenge. They were due to play at home to Huddersfield Giants but given that game won't place until later in the year. As a result, their first game at the Totally Wicked Stadium is instead in round three and their opponents will be the Rhinos.
It means that Leeds now know they will start on the road against Warrington before hosting Hull FC a week later. They will then travel to face the champions the round after. In total, five of Leeds' fixtures are now public.
