Players from Leeds Rhinos were joined by volunteers from Leeds Rhinos Foundation, St George’s Crypt and St Gemma’s Hospice as they got tucked in their sleeping bags to shelter from Storm Diana at the sleep out at Emeral Headingley.

Player Anthony Mullally said it was going to be cold but just a small insight into what homeless people go through.
