Hetherington welcomes grading process vote

Leeds Rhinos Chief Executive Gary Hetherington has given the Rhinos support to the proposals for club grading, which will be voted on this Wednesday.

 Hetherington commented, "Leeds Rhinos are very supportive of the process put in place by the clubs and the RFL which will see a series of recommendations to elevate the games popularity in future years. 

 "Tomorrow's vote on the club grading process is the first part of the exercise and it is important for clubs to show support for the RFL, RL Commercial and IMG, who have made the recommendations. 

"From the original proposals, the RFL have listened to concerns and certainly addressed the issues around community engagement and player development, which was absent from the initial discussion document," added Hetherington.
