Kruise Leeming insists Leeds Rhinos can see “light at the end of the tunnel” but has warned things might get worse before they are finally on an upward curve. The 2022 campaign has been a traumatic time at Headingley with Richard Agar stepping down as head coach and club legend Jamie Jones-Buchanan placed in interim charge.
Rohan Smith recently took the reins and, while his first match in charge was a disappointing defeat at Salford Red Devils, the Rhinos beat fellow strugglers Wakefield Trinity comfortably last Friday. The 24-6 success over Willie Poching’s men marked a third straight home win for Leeds, but club captain Leeming believes it could take time to iron out their inconsistencies.
Leeming told Rugby League Live: “I don’t want to make excuses, but we’ve had three different coaches this season. We had just got to learn a system with Rich and then he left, then we got to learn another system under Jonesy and had started winning before Rohan came in.
