Leeds Rhinos coach Richard Agar jokes he’d like retiring matchwinner Rob Lui to stay on


Lui scored the opening try in a 36-12 win over Hull KR which sealed fifth place in Betfred Super League and booked an elimination play-off at Wigan Warriors next Thursday.
“Rob was excellent,” Agar said of Lui, who will retire at the end of this season.

“Tom Briscoe played centre and then did 30 minutes in the second-row, he was great; Luke Briscoe was really good on the wing and Ash Handley had a good game. James Donaldson and Tommy Holroyd in particular came off the bench and played very well.”
Rhinos were assured of a place in the play-offs before kick-off and Agar hailed a “really pleasing” performance.
He added: “Coming into the game it was a bit funny, preparing all week for a must win game and then finding out it wasn’t.

“For big chunks of the game I thought what Hull KR have been good at all season, we handled really well.
“I thought we unpicked them really well offensively in the first half.”
