It was always going to be the question asked if Leeds Rhinos inexplicably lost to Wakefield Trinity. One win in six had already seen pressure mount on Rohan Smith but this defeat, one that words can't explain the humiliation that comes with it, has really put the microscope on the Australian and his long-term future at the club.
Smith's willingness to make bold, unpopular choices always meant he was leaving himself there to be shot at and now, with Leeds suffering an embarrassing defeat against a side that had lost its first fifteen matches, that scrutiny is going to come and it's going to come to a great extent.
It's not a one-off, either. Between Wakefield and Castleford, Super League's bottom two teams have won four games all season. Three of them have come against Leeds. There is no way of dressing that up, It's simply not good enough.
