Every club has stages within their season that threaten to be pivotal and for Leeds Rhinos, they embark on one of those tonight. Rohan Smith's side entertains St Helens tonight in what is the first in a string of matches that threaten to determine how this season pans out.
The Rhinos, who are currently eighth in Super League, have a sequence of four matches that present a brilliant opportunity to climb the league. Every team they play in the next four rounds currently occupy a place in the bottom half of Super League and beyond that, they play the three bottom teams in the league.
Rohan Smith has challenged the idea of Leeds' performances being inconsistent, but their results certainly have. They boast a 50/50 record in league action which has left them firmly in the mix for a top-four spot as we approach the halfway point of the season, but they also have plenty of work to do to establish themselves in the play-offs too.
