Plenty of Castleford, Wakefield fans live in the city of leeds too.
I'm not convinced by that. Plenty of RL fans in Leeds are not Rhinos fans: they move there for work, but go back to the surrounding towns for their sport. Boro fans moving to London for work still follow Boro, and fill the ground on boxing day don't they?
West Yorkshire has multiple rugby league clubs.
The City of Leeds has one, and it's a big city.
If it was the main sport in a city of 800,000 people, they'd manage more than 12,000.
In 2015 when they won the Super League and the Challenge Cup, they were averaging 15,921 people.
That's at their peak.
