There are issues in several areas at this moment in time, so unfortunately I'm going to have to fail the nomination.
- The prose suffers from a common ailment - in 1975 no-one died syndrome, also known as proseline - A large proportion of sentences and paragraphs start with "In [year] X happened". Several paragraphs consist of only one or two sentences, which makes things disjointed. Working on improving prose is not an easy task, but there is useful advice at User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a. Getting a third party to copyedit would be advantagous.
- Structurally the layout is generally sound, but with some niggles - why does the squad have a blue background? The honours should not be in bold. External links should not be present in prose. In particular "For more information visit the Australia Day Challenge web site" makes it look like spam.
- A big problem - in the UK fixture lists are subject to copyright, making the list of 2009 fixtures a copyvio. This needs removing forthwith.
- Note - I have removed this section. Oldelpaso (talk) 20:31, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- Note - i have re-added the results section, purely to point to the 2009 Leeds Rhinos page Results section. I will keep this updated with results only, not fixtures.Julianhall (talk) 12:03, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

- References need formatting using the relevant citation templates e.g. {{cite web}}. Youtube links containing copyright violations should not be used, and wikis should not be used as references either.
- What makes the following sites reliable? - www.mightyleeds.co.uk, www.getmein.com, www.ticketluck.com, www.talkrugbyleague.co.uk, www.southstander.com, www.theburrow.net.au
- Some of the external links look like they should not be there. See WP:EL for inclusion criteria.
- I don't think the 2009 signings section should be there, per WP:NOTNEWS. A note referring to the current rugby season article may be appropriate instead.
- Per WP:MOSNUM, numbers up to ten should be written in words, so for ecxample "second" should be used in preference to "2nd" in the main text.
This isn't an exhaustive list of issues, but should be plenty to be going on with for now. Oldelpaso (talk) 20:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
