Two wins from two under interim-coaches Chev Walker and Scott Grix, but our Leeds Rhinos fans’ Jury are far from happy.
Rhinos were pushed all the way by Betfred Super League’s bottom club London Broncos before a Brodie Croft drop goal snatched a 17-16 victory in golden-point extra-time. It wasn’t the sort of performance our panel were expecting after a fine win over Leigh Leopards in the previous game and has left them wondering if ex-coach Rohan Smith really was the issue.
Normal service was resumed at HQ on Saturday: unforced errors and silly penalties and we can add shocking tackling to that list as well. Saturday was proof - if proof was needed - that Rohan Smith was not the only problem at Leeds. We have no leadership on the field, no confidence and no game plan, other than five drives and a kick which will never win a rugby game. We have two of the best wingers and centres in the competition, but the ball hardly got out to them.
Frustrated and flat, that’s the only way to describe Rhinos’ play against London, marred by errors galore and sloppy play. It was a golden-point win, but we were extremely lucky and it was completely different to the previous match, against Leigh. Man of the match James McDonnell admitted in the Long Bar after the game they had been told it wasn’t good enough. The referee wasn’t great at times, but as I will always say ‘never play their game’.
Considering London Broncos were considered to be a makeweight team at the start of the season, Super League’s whipping boys, they put up one heck of a fight in their second meeting with Leeds this season. Leeds were back to their old ways of flattering to deceive.
