Leeds Rhinos' faltering squad face crucial 'week off' as they look to fix up issues

Jamie Jones-Buchanan says the Leeds Rhinos coaching staff will make the most of every last second they have with the players this week as they look to fix up the issues that have damaged them throughout the season. The Rhinos don't have a game this week after being knocked out of the Challenge Cup, giving Jones-Buchanan precious contact time with the squad throughout the week without the need to prepare for a game.

The interim boss insists it is imperative that the improvements required are made this week to help turn their fortunes around. Leeds currently have just one win from eight games but Jones-Buchanan believes a week off will greatly help their cause.

"I've been talking to Rich Hunwicks, who is in charge of our strength and conditioning and performance staff," he said. "We've got a plan as to what we want to do, make the most of it and we're really going to make the most out of every minute.
