Everything Rohan Smith said on Leeds Rhinos' defeat to Hull FC from missed chances to injuries

General thoughts
I thought it was a game of missed chances. We created a load of ruck speed in the first half, unrewarded a lot of it with a failure to find a right play on the end of the ruck speed. Second half we created a lot of opportunities and didn't execute. But I thought we won the physical battle, we created more chances but the nature of sport is you have to execute on the back of it.

Missed chances
They were the critical moments, there were a couple of poor defensive moments in the game which we were punished for again. But overall our defence looked largely in control, we won a lot more physical collisions tonight, a lot more than the opposition I'd suggest, but some of the things you win you don't get rewarded for as well. But that's out of your control.

Satisfied with the improvements?
Last week is irrelevant, tonight there was a lot of intent, there was a lot effort put in. We put ourselves in a position to win the game which is pleasing but we didn't get on with it so everyone is very disappointed.
