Miller highly praised his teammate's versatility. According to him, Handley was one of the competition's best wingers, became one of the best centres after moving to the position, and could be among the best full-backs. Handley himself acknowledged that this is a significant change for him, as he has not played at full-back for several years, but he is ready to take on the challenge for the team.
Form before the play-offs
Leeds ended the regular season with two consecutive defeats, to Wigan and Hull FC. The team finished second, although it had been in first place for most of the season. After the end of the regular championship, the Rhinos had a week to recover and prepare for the match against Warrington.
The second Super League semi-final on September 26 will be played by Wigan Warriors and Wakefield Trinity. The tournament final is scheduled for October 3 at Old Trafford.
