Leeds' influential captain Kevin Sinfield has announced he will end his long association with the Rhinos at the end of the season and cross codes to finish his playing career with rugby union sister club Yorkshire Carnegie.
The 34-year-old former England skipper has led the Rhinos to six Super League titles, three World Club Challenges and one Challenge Cup success since making his debut for the club at the age of 16.
The Rhinos top the table after seven rounds of Super League XX but now face up to losing their two most inspirational players at the end of the campaign - Sinfield and Jamie Peacock, who last week confirmed he was taking up a management role at Hull KR.
