Leeds Rhinos boss Rohan Smith says he will continue to block out the external noise amid frustration from the fanbase over the club's Challenge Cup exit.
The Rhinos remain without a cup win since their 2020 triumph after falling at the first hurdle for the fourth year in a row in a 20-6 home defeat by St Helens. Back-to-back Headingley losses to traditional rivals Saints have dampened the spirits of a section of Leeds supporters who are fearing another lost season. But Smith believes the Rhinos are heading in the right direction following last year's hugely disappointing eighth-place finish.
' Matt Frawley has been heavily criticised by some fans in the wake of the cup loss to Saints. The scrum-half is back in Super League with the Rhinos after a disappointing season at Huddersfield Giants in 2019. Smith has been content with Frawley's early performances in a Leeds shirt. 'I think he's been solid,' said Smith.
