Jon Wilkin has doubled down on his belief that Leeds Rhinos are not a top-four Super League team. The former England and Great Britain international was part of the Sky Sports punditry team for the Rhinos' trip to Hull KR and stood by his belief that Leeds remain some way off being the team some believe they are.
Wilkin caused a storm before the season when he insisted the suggestion Leeds were back to being one of the competition's top forces were premature. Since then, the Rhinos have experienced a season of ups and downs, beating the likes of St Helens and Catalans but losing to strugglers Castleford Tigers and Hull FC.
Wilkin was asked for an update on his opinion during the build-up to the game and having seen the Rhinos end Catalans' unbeaten start last week. But undeterred, Wilkin insisted that his opinion on the Rhinos' prospects had not changed.
