Cameron Smith says another fire has been “lit” in his bid for Leeds glory - and Rhinos legend Kevin Sinfield drives him on.
The loose forward, 24, believes his side can go one better this year and win Betfred Super League. They fell at the final hurdle last term losing the Grand Final against St Helens but start a new season in tonight’s televised clash at Warrington. Smith has been promoted for the first time to the No.13 shirt made famous by the iconic Sinfield who captained Leeds to seven titles.
But he admitted: “It still doesn’t seem real yet. I've grown up as a young kid wanting to wear this specific jersey and knowing the great players who’ve worn it before me means it carries a lot of weight. I want to give the shirt justice and can't wait to pull it on on Thursday.”
