The game was due to be live streamed for season ticket holders on the Our League app, but was hit by technical problems, leading to a flood of complaints.

A statement issued by the governing bodies said: "Super League and the RFL apologise to supporters of clubs involved in last night’s Betfred Super League fixtures for the problems that some experienced with the streaming for the Our League coverage.

"The problems were a source of huge disappointment and frustration for us, as for those supporters affected.

"We have investigated the issues with our media platform partners, Stream AMG and isolated it to an interference with another platform and not the Our League app – but the knock-on effects were experienced by all. We have made it clear that these issues are unacceptable."

It added: "The development of the Our League platform over the last three years has led us to a position where we have been able to offer streaming of 35 Betfred Super League fixtures for season ticket holders since the resumption of the season in such unusual circumstances in August, thanks to the support of Super League’s broadcast partners Sky Sports."

A full replays of last night’s match is available on Our League for Rhinos season ticket holders as well as on the club's YouTube channel.
