Leeds Rhinos second-rower Rhyse Martin has paid tribute to his team-mates for the support they have given him following the recent passing of his father.
Martin lost his dad last month, during the week of the Rhinos' home clash against Warrington Wolves, but decided to play in the Super League opener before flying home to Australia on compassionate leave to be with his family.
Having missed the games against Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons, Martin returned to England on Monday and played in Thursday’s win at Wakefield Trinity.
