Rugby: Rhinos favoured by Ladbrokes

Most bookmakers are struggling to pick a winner for Saturday's Grand Final match between Leeds and Bradford. The Rhinos beat the Bulls twelve months ago. Ladbrokes are one firm who believe the Grand Final holders will repeat by offering just 8/11 on them, and even money for Bradford to become the first team outside the top two to win the big prize.In the run-up to the final, Leeds coach Tony Smith has been named as the engage Super League coach of the year. The award helped alleviate some of the disappointment that his centre Keith Senior won't make the squad for Saturday. The Great Britain centre has missed the Rhinos' last four matches after aggravating an ankle injury in the Cup final defeat by Hull. Senior should though be fit for the Tri-Nations in a few weeks. Leeds should otherwise be at full strength, while Bradford's only injury concern is Stuart Reardon.
