Hardcastle: ‘Leeds want to do Rob Burrow proud in Women’s Challenge Cup final’

AMY HARDCASTLE says her Leeds team-mates are determined to do Rob Burrow proud when they bid to stop St Helens from claiming a fourth straight Women’s Challenge Cup triumph at Wembley on Saturday.
A day of tributes to Burrow — who died on Sunday after a four-and-a-half-year battle with motor neurone disease — will have personal significance for a number of Rhinos players as they look to lift the trophy for the first time since 2019.
And the importance of the occasion is not lost on Halifax-born Hardcastle, who grew up inspired by Burrow’s Herculean exploits in a Rhinos shirt, and believes they are the kind of memories that could help give her side the edge.
