This season the West Yorkshire Police have been working alongside the Leeds Rhinos to promote community safety to youngsters across the city with their 'Give it a Try' campaign. This is the sixth year the Force has run the successful scheme and Leeds have been helping the police send out the positive messages by circulating their latest set of rugby league collector cards. There are a total of cards to collect each displaying a current Rhinos player on one side, and messages addressing youth related issues and community policing on the reverse. This year's messages have been put together by Youth Citizen Panels across West Yorkshire and focus on bullying, racism, personal safety, mobile phone theft, and drugs issues. Fans may have already collected some of these highly sought after cards, but now is the chance to win a unique oversized version, which features Matt Diskin and has been signed by the Rhinos hooker. Also the runner up will receive a framed full set of Leeds Rhinos Community collector cards. To be in with a chance of winning these great prizes all you have to do is tell us in 50 words or less which of the 18 community safety messages featured on this year's collector cards is most important and why.
