Rohan Smith has shrugged off any suggestion Zane Tetevano's future at Leeds could be under threat following his latest bout of ill-discipline. Tetevano will face a Rugby Football League tribunal hearing on Tuesday after being charged with another serious incident, this time in the Rhinos' defeat to St Helens last week.
Tetevano was hit with a Grade D striking charge for the tackle on Konrad Hurrell which saw him receive a straight red card. It means he could be banned for between three and five matches, the latest in a growing line of disciplinary issues Tetevano has been involved in since joining Leeds.
But Smith knocked back any talk the latest disciplinary challenge could throw doubt over Tetevano's Leeds future. When asked if his future at the club was under threat, Smith said: "Zane is contracted, and some things like this happen in a combat sport."
