Rohan Smith has rejected the notion that Leeds Rhinos' 32-4 win over Castleford Tigers papered over the cracks.
Leeds got back to winning ways following defeats to Catalans Dragons and St Helens but a result against the 10th-placed Tigers did little to ease the pressure on under-fire boss Smith. The Australian, however, was impressed with his side's reaction to recent criticism. 'That was a strong performance, regardless of who you're playing against,' he said.
'We've attacked lots of games. We haven't ended up with the end result but I'd much rather be in the game against St Helens and take it to them at half-time and lose than never really be in it and lose anyway. 'We've got plenty to do but there's a lot of belief and connection in this group. We didn't wait until the score was on our side to feel good. We attacked it and that's how we have to play all the time.
