Leeds Rhinos “weren’t where we needed to be” in their 20-6 Challenge Cup defeat by St Helens, coach Rohan Smith admitted.
For the second successive Friday, Rhinos were beaten at home by Saints after being outscored by three tries to one. It is the fourth year in a row they have fallen at the first hurdle on the road to Wembley and Smith conceded: “The better team clearly won today, whereas last week I wasn’t so sure.” Assessing the game, the coach said: “We didn’t have enough intent with our defence early on and we were on the back foot.
We had more intent in the first 15-20 minutes, I felt. We carried the ball well and generated more opportunities on the edges on the back of that. “In the end, a couple of deflections and a shocking miss on a barge-over have cost us the game. There’s plenty to take out of it as far as hanging in there and keeping connected, but I thought we weren’t where we needed to be.” Smith felt Leeds were better in the second period.
