So is it possible to select a team of players who spent time in Rhinos’ system and are now at other top-flight clubs, all playing in their correct position (spoiler alert, yes)?
All featured in or qualified for Rhinos' lower grades. We haven’t included overseas players (for example Konrad Hurrell or King Vuniyayawa) or anyone who played first team rugby league elsewhere before joining Leeds, such as Kyle Amor or Alex Mellor.
How would this side do against the current Rhinos team and can you come up with a better Rhinos old boys 17?
