Coach Rohan Smith hailed a “professional performance” from his Leeds Rhinos side following their 46-8 drubbing of London Broncos.
Rhinos’ biggest win of the season was a boost after four successive home losses and a disappointing performance in their victory at Hull FC five days earlier. It was achieved despite Riley Lumb and Brodie Croft picking up injuries which reduced Rhinos to 15 available players for the final 50 minutes on Friday night and Smith reflected: “It has been a tough two years. “I arrived here two years ago to the day and there hasn’t been a day or a week when people don’t think you should win.
” Though recent results and performances made for a nervous build-up to Friday’s match, Smith stressed: “There was a lot of discipline and intent with the way we attacked and in our defence we got after it and didn’t allow any opportunities. They scored a couple of good tries when they were chancing their arm a bit, but overall we were pretty much as close as you can get to controlling a game. “We had a lot of disruptions again with losing a couple of backs early on.
