Leeds captain Cameron Smith is relishing having Magic Weekend in the Rhinos' home city at Elland Road
This year’s venue for the Betfred Super League’s Magic Weekend is as close to a home venue without actually being at home as Leeds Rhinos could get – even if they are nominally the ‘away’ team for their match against Warrington Wolves. Elland Road, the home of the city's football club Leeds United, is just a four-mile drive south from the Rhinos' AMT Headingley ground and is not exactly unfamiliar territory for them down the years either.
Results have continued to be up and down - two wins and two defeats - since the 50-year-old took charge fresh from over a decade at the reins of NRL side Parramatta Eels. Yet Arthur saw the stunning win over Wigan as a sign of the progress he has seen from the team since he came on board. 'We've been chasing that 80-minute effort and I thought we did that,' Arthur told Sky Sports. 'I'm disappointed we leaked a try because I felt like we'd done enough.
