Leeds Rhinos mounted a comeback to defeat Halifax Panthers in the Wheelchair Super League Grand Final in Hull, securing their second title.

Despite Halifax leading 22-16 at halftime, Rob Hawkins scored twice for them.

Nathan Collins then kept Leeds in the game with two tries, before assisting on two more to put the Rhinos ahead.

Though Hawkins managed to equalize, Josh Butler’s hat trick in the second half ensured a decisive victory for Leeds.

This triumph caps a flawless season for the Rhinos, who retained the League Leaders’ Shield with a perfect record of eight wins.

With this victory, they now match Halifax with two Super League titles.

Looking ahead, the Rhinos aim to be the first team to defend their title next season, but they’ll face increased competition as the league expands from five to eight teams.
