Wheelchair Super League Grand Final: Leeds Rhinos beat Halifax Panthers

Leeds Rhinos fought back to beat Halifax Panthers in the Wheelchair Super League Grand Final in Hull and secure their second title.

Rob Hawkins crossed twice as Halifax led 22-16 at the break, with two tries from Nathan Collins keeping the Rhinos firmly in the hunt.

Collins then set up two more quick tries to put Leeds back in front and, although Hawkins levelled, Josh Butler’s second-half hat-trick helped seal an emphatic win.

The victory completes a perfect season for the Rhinos after retaining the League Leaders’ Shield with eight wins from eight, and it takes them level with Halifax on two Super League crowns.
