Leeds Rhinos are preparing for a “pivotal” afternoon in their season when Castleford Tigers visit AMT Headingley on Saturday.
Rhinos’ 26-6 success at Castleford in March was their fourth victory in the opening six Betfred Super League rounds, but they’ve won just two of their half dozen games since. With sixth-placed Salford Red Devils hosting London Broncos on Sunday, defeat to Tigers could leave Rhinos, who are seventh, four points adrift of the play-offs at the midway point.
“We thought we attacked the game really well in the first half and there was a lot of confidence and positivity among the group at half-time. We started the second half poorly and, aside from a little patch, didn’t really recover. We want to take some action and show we can play better for longer.” One area for improvement is up front. Smith accepted: said: “Most of our go-forward has been limited by our lack of detail with the ball at times.
