Leeds boss Rohan Smith doesn’t “condone” the actions of Rhinos players Harry Newman and Tom Holroyd who squared up to each other in the Headingley tunnel after Friday’s defeat against Salford.
The duo - both part of Shaun Wane’s England squad - reportedly had to be split apart as tempers frayed. Smith acknowledged an incident had taken place but insisted things had been settled ahead of Friday’s trip to Wigan with both players included in the 21-man squad as usual. In the club’s weekly press conference, he said: “These things happen from time to time.
“It’s not something that we condone or want to happen. But players get frustrated and they get disappointed and they’re both very passionate guys that want to do well and want the team to do well. They had a bit of a disagreement and that was left there and then and everyone’s moved on.
