Super League Round 11 attendances with Leeds leading the way
Leeds Rhinos recorded the highest attendance of Super League round 11, with an average of 9,930 across five games – excluding Hull KR.
The Robins are not releasing their weekly figures in 2023.
Friday night’s clash at Headingley Stadium saw a crowd of 13,007 as Paul Rowley’s Salford put on an impressive display for a 22-12 win over Rohan Smith’s side.
England international Marcy Sneyd kicked 10 of those points from the boot, with Rhys Williams, Sam Stone and Ellis Longstaff scoring for the Red Devils.
It saw Salford claim their seventh win of the season to cement their spot in the play-offs in fifth position, and on joint-points with Catalans.
Leeds hold an average home attendance of 13,510 so far this season, having played six games at Headingley Stadium.
More Super League attendances
Catalans Dragons received much attention over the weekend after a bull got loose and caused chaos on the pitch, leaving players and trainers running for safety in extraordinary viewing.
As the French outfit prepared for their televised Super League match with St Helens live on Sky Sports, several bulls were paraded in front of the crowd at Stade Gilbert Brutus.
Eventually, the loose bull was brought back in to control of the handlers, and the club has since received plenty of attention around the globe, as well as more than 2million views on Sky Sports’ rugby league Twitter channel.
