Cameron Smith says Leeds Rhinos’ famous comeback win over Catalans Dragons has reinforced the belief that they can compete with Super League’s best teams. Rohan Smith’s men have made a mixed start to the season, winning three and losing three to sit seventh in the table ahead of Friday’s trip to Hull Kingston Rovers.
But they beat defending champions St Helens on their own turf and engineered a sensational 32-22 comeback win over Catalans at Headingley last Saturday. Loose forward Smith told Leeds Live: “The thing is we’re not lacking any confidence going into games.
“Even though we were really scrappy the week before [at Castleford], there was still huge belief within ourselves. We know we’ve got tonnes of talent in the squad, so all we need to do is be on the same page and we can score points like we did on Saturday. You’ve got to step up and do it against the top teams and we think we’re a top team. If we can keep knocking these big teams over then I believe we can be up there at the end of the year.”
