Leeds Rhinos full-back Lachlan Miller has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury during Saturday’s match against Wigan Warriors. The 32-year-old Australian suffered the damage early in the contest, which ended in defeat for Leeds. Miller had made four tries across 23 appearances for the club during the 2026 campaign.
Head coach Brad Arthur expressed his disappointment at losing the experienced player, particularly given Miller’s commitment to the team. Arthur noted that the full-back had been competing despite carrying a fractured eye socket and was prepared to undergo surgery if necessary. The coach praised Miller’s dedication and willingness to improve aspects of his performance as requested by the coaching staff.
With Miller sidelined, Leeds will need other squad members to step up as the club pursues the League Leaders’ Shield. The Rhinos remain in contention, with a Friday fixture against Hull FC offering an opportunity to secure the title, provided that top rivals Wigan lose their match against Catalans Dragons. Arthur’s side must now adjust their plans without one of their key defensive players for the critical final stages of the season.
