The Rhinos 13/1s were leading right up to the last minute when the Mounties scores to snatch the title 10-8 at Merrylands Oval. The 13/2s lost against Cabramatta 20-14 at the same venue.

The Rhinos are one of the most active clubs in the district, helping charities with their fund raisers, the most recent being the Pink Day event where they raised more than $18,000.

This player is all wrapped up.

“W started off the finals with 71 per cent of our teams in the semi-final and ended up with nine teams into the grand finals,” club spokeswoman Milly Coinakis said.

“Some of our teams didn’t bring home the trophy but it is a great achievement to make the grand final and they all did the club proud.”
