Winfield-Hill back for Leeds Rhinos Women

Leeds Rhinos Women are on the road this Sunday against Huddersfield Giants Women at Huddersfield YMCA, kick off 2pm.

Head coach Lois Forsell welcomes back captain Courtney Winfield-Hill to the side after she missed the last fixture against Wigan Warriors. Elle Frain and Shannon Lacey are also recalled to the squad and Jasmine Earnshaw-Cudjoe, who returned from her injury in last week’s Nines tournament is also named in the squad.

The Rhinos won their last game at Headingley against Giants 60-4, scoring 12 tries to kick start their Super League campaign and they will be aiming to earn the double over the Yorkshire rivals, who currently sit in fifth place in the league.

Player Milestones

Chloe Kerrigan

Second row/centre Chloe Kerrigan can become the fifth Rhinos Women’s player in history to make 50 appearances for the club, should she run out on Sunday.

Kerrigan has made 45 starts and four substitute appearances over her four seasons in blue and amber, plus she was ever-present during the team’s 2019 campaign when they lifted the Grand Final trophy and Challenge Cup.

Sophie Nuttall

Sophie Nuttall needs ten points to reach 50 points in her Betfred Women’s Super League career.

She has one try in all competitions so far this year, which came in the Challenge Cup win over Warrington in the quarter finals

Courtney Winfield-Hill

Skipper Courtney Winfield-Hill needs four goals at Headingley to take her Rhinos career total to 200.

Now in her fourth season with the club, Winfield-Hill kicked the most goals during her first season in blue and amber (63 in 2018) and this year, she currently has 32 goals.

Hanna Butcher

The versatile Hanna Butcher is two points shy of surpassing 100 points for the Rhinos.

As one of the Rhinos’ inaugural squad members and the club’s joint-leading appearance maker, she has accumulated 94 points over four years with 20 tries and seven goals.

Zoe Hornby

Forward Zoe Hornby moved to within two points of reaching 50 points for the club.

Having joined Leeds only a year ago, Hornby has wasted no time in scoring tries as she has ten in 19 appearances. Seven of those have come during this season, including five in her last two matches against Wigan.

Tasha Gaines

Another member of the Leeds’ first ever Super League squad Tasha Gaines needs four points to reach her century of Rhinos points.

Both a try scorer and goal kicker, she has scored 13 tries and kicked 22 goals during her four years in blue and amber, including three tries this year.
