Wembley-bound skipper Minchella was moved by tribute to Rob Burrow

The Hull KR captain made six first-team appearances for Leeds in 2013-2014, when Burrow was among his team-mates. This week marked the first anniversary of Burrow’s death and last Saturday’s home derby against Wakefield Trinity was dedicated to the eight-time Grand Final winner.

Burrow’s family, including parents Geoff and Irene, presented the match ball to referee Chris Kendall, tributes to the legendary scrum-half were shown on the big screen and there was a minute's applause before kick-off.
