Every word of Rohan Smith's press conference after Leeds Rhinos' win over Huddersfield Giants

General thoughts

Another brave performance. Playing with 12 men again, a couple of injuries, you half anticipate it with the frequency of fixtures but we defended well and reasonably calm in between but the attack was a complete mess again.

I thought we had the ball we just couldn't finish enough sets. We didn't have position more than possession overall but it felt like that because we were defending our own end a lot. We've found ways to win defensively for a good few weeks now. Our attack hasn't had a consistent team and that's difficult and you can see everyone telling each other to calm down but it's too late when you've played loose for no reason and turned the ball over. But the pleasing thing is how together they are to keep finding a way. I still thought the best team won tonight.
