Season review edit

On 12 February, Leeds began their Super League campaign with a 22–20 loss to Warrington Wolves[1] followed by losses at Wigan Warriors[2] and at home to Catalans Dragons[3] before their first win came in Round 4 with a 34–18 victory at Wakefield Trinity.[4] Leeds had an early exit from the Challenge Cup with a 40–16 defeat by Castleford Tigers,[5] and their run of poor results leading to the departure of Richard Agar as head coach meant that by mid-April Leeds were 11th in the table.[6][7] Interim head coach Jamie Jones-Buchanan oversaw wins against Toulouse Olympique and Hull Kingston Rovers before the arrival of the newly appointed Rohan Smith.[7][8] Towards the end of the season, Leeds went on a run of six wins[9] before suffering a 32–18 loss to Catalans Dragons at the end of August. It meant that to qualify for the play-offs Leeds needed to avoid defeat in the final round of the regular season against Castleford, which they achieved with two late tries that gave them a 14–8 victory.[10][11]

Leeds began their play-off campaign by travelling to Perpignan where a hat-trick by Liam Sutcliffe gave them a 20–10 win over Catalans Dragons.[12] Leeds faced Wigan in the semi-final. At half time the score was 4–2 to Wigan, but a try from Jarrod O'Connor (his first for Leeds) and two from James Bentley saw Leeds reach their 11th Grand Final with a 20–8 win.[13] The Grand Final took place on 24 September at Old Trafford where Leeds lost 24–12 to St Helens.[6]
