Rohan Smith has dismissed Kruise Leeming's suggestion that his Leeds Rhinos departure was at the request of the head coach. Leeming completed his move to NRL club Gold Coast Titans over the weekend and released a statement on social media in the aftermath.
Within it, he stated: "It is my understanding that this suits the coaches wishes and I know this is how things go in professional sport."
Smith was asked about Leeming's comments ahead of the Rhinos' game with Huddersfield Giants and while he kept his response short, he made it clear that Leeming was the one who had instigated the move.
