Rohan Smith is hoping Leeds Rhinos produce a performance that pleases everybody in tonight's home clash with Super League whipping boys London Broncos.
Smith has been under increasing pressure from the terraces this season after failing to lead the club to the play-offs in 2023. Leeds returned to winning ways at Hull FC last week following four defeats in five games but failed to convince, heightening the need for an emphatic performance against winless London. 'I think everyone is looking for slightly different things,' said Smith. 'Some people tell me that all they want to see is people competing hard.
'It certainly has an impact,' said Smith, who could welcome back Ash Handley this week but has lost Paul Momirovski from the team that beat Hull. 'I think we had eight of our top 25 not available last weekend. We're dealing with lots of interruptions and disruptions. 'We're trying to get some cohesion and chemistry going but when players are coming and going, it does make that difficult.
