At times you have to eat your own words and this is one of those for yours truly. When I suggested that avoiding injuries was a more realistic proposition for Leeds Rhinos than beating Hull KR, I was firmly of the belief that Leeds would have little hope of winning given they would have four teenagers in their side and a dozen key men out against a team that had won six on the bounce.
How wrong I was.
In my defence, I've been criticised by some Leeds fans for dismissing the suggestion that this team has lacked effort during their lousy start to the year. I stand by that belief now. I haven't once watched a Leeds team lacking effort this year, but one woefully short of quality and at times, a bit of character.
