Super League Show

Coverage: Monday, 14 December 23:30 GMT on BBC One (north of England). Repeated on BBC Two nationwide at 13:00 GMT on Tuesday, 15 December. Available on iplayer for 28 days.

Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott and some of the club's stars of 2015 will look back at their sensational treble-winning year on the Super League Show on Monday, 14 December.

The Rhinos completed the treble for the first time in their history as legends Jamie Peacock, Kylie Leuluai and Kevin Sinfield departed the club in style.

McDermott said: "It was a weird emotion when we won the Grand Final. It was more relief than anything because it would have been such a shame to have got there and not won it.

"Everyone loves a fairytale and looking at those three after that game I just thought 'this must be absolutely brilliant for them'."
