The biggest trophy in domestic Rugby League, the Super League trophy, will be on display at the Leeds Building Society Head Office branch this Friday, 18th November, between 10.30 a.m. and 11.30 a.m. Also in attendance will be the man of the match from the Grand Final, Rhinos star Rob Burrow, and Ronnie the Rhino.

There will be a terrific atmosphere on Friday, as this event takes place just a day before the England Rugby League’s team Four Nations final against Australia at Elland Road (on Saturday 19th November).
Leeds Building Society Head Office Branch Manager Sanae Atkins said, "We are offering everyone, members and non members alike, the chance to pop into the branch to take advantage of this special opportunity.
"This was the fourth grand final win in the five years the Society has sponsored the Rhinos, and the team did it against all the odds after becoming the first team to lift the title after finishing outside the top three in the regular season.
"It will be a great opportunity on Friday for people to come to the branch and have their photo taken with the trophy, in return for a £1 donation to Children in Need, to mark this tremendous achievement. It’s great timing also, as excitement builds ahead of the Four Nations final the following day."
