Recent history is against them, but coach Rohan Smith is confident Leeds Rhinos can “find a way” to beat St Helens in the Challenge Cup sixth round on Friday.
The teams meet again at AMT Headingley seven days after Saints’ 18-8 win there in a tense Betfred Super League clash. Rhinos are set to field a stronger side this time, with centre Paul Momirovski and prop Sam Lisone both back in their initial 21, but the omens are against the home side. Only Harry Newman and James Donaldson could back up from a 78-6 defeat of Workington Town on April 12, 2019, which was the last time Leeds won a Challenge Cup tie at home, or in front of fans.
We know we have to be good to win, you don’t beat St Helens otherwise.” Saints are also close to full-strength and will be buoyed by their comeback in the league meeting. Smith admitted: “They are a very good team; they played very well when they needed to to beat us, but I think we can take some belief and confidence out of how we played and how we attacked the game.
