Rohan Smith has revealed conversations regarding recruitment and retention at Leeds Rhinos will begin in the coming days. Smith arrived at Headingley on Tuesday for his first official day as head coach of the Rhinos, and will meet the full squad on Thursday for the first time.
However, the Australian admitted that discussions with players whose contracts expire at the end of the current season are high on his personal agenda. And while he will not be able to make any definitive decisions just yet, Smith said that he will endeavour to speak to players such as Rhyse Martin, whose contract runs out later this year, to determine a long-term plan for the make-up of his squad.
"Those conversions are something we're going to have in the next few days," he said. "To check in with the status of players that are looking to be re-signed or who we want to re-sign."
