Rohan Smith in heated confrontation with St Helens supporters after controversial Leeds Rhinos win

Rohan Smith exchanged words with a number of St Helens supporters following Leeds Rhinos' controversial victory over the champions. Blake Austin's drop goal secured a win in which Saints received three cards, including a red, while a controversial call late in the game also went in Leeds' favour.

Referee Chris Kendall chose to award Leeds a penalty for Jack Welsby's alleged shoulder charge rather than give St Helens the penalty 40 metres out in front of the sticks. There were around five minutes remaining at that stage and from the call, former Rhino Konrad Hurrell was sent off.

Saints fans were left livid after the game with a loud chorus of boos coming from the majority of the 15,000 plus in attendance at the Totally Wicked Stadium. They also personally aired their frustrations to members of the Rhinos party, including Smith himself.
