Rohan Smith insists he does not fear for his job after seeing Leeds Rhinos collapse to a fourth successive home defeat in an action-packed encounter with Huddersfield Giants.
The Rhinos appeared set to return to winning ways when they opened up a 12-point lead for a second time, only to implode with a makeshift right edge following injuries to Harry Newman and David Fusitu'a. Leeds conceded six tries in the second half and only Jake Connor's wayward goalkicking kept the hosts in the contest as full-time approached. The 30-24 defeat left the Rhinos eighth in the table and increased the pressure on Smith.
We've had too many lapses, too many periods in games where we haven't been good enough. We had some lapses today but there were a lot of positive periods as well. 'I'm confident we'll get a good response next week and will go to Hull and play well.' Huddersfield boss Ian Watson found himself in Smith's position last June after a 54-0 Headingley defeat left his team 10th in the table.
