Diskin and Leeds Rhinos team-mates Brent Webb, Rob Burrow, Ali Lauitiiti, Kylie Leuluai, and Luke Ambler will all be singing at the The Frontier in Batley as rugby league performs its own version of television hit X Factor.

Rhinos assistant coach Willie Poching, Bradford Bulls duo Nick Scruton and Tom Burgess, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats prop Richard Moore and former Wakefield stars Gary Price and Francis Stephenson are also showing their vocal talent.
