Smith's Rhinos went down 21-12 to Huddersfield Giants at the John Smith's Stadium
Leeds Rhinos coach Rohan Smith was visibly frustrated after hearing some Huddersfield Giants players admit Jake Connor's drop goal that ended the game as a contest didn't actually go through. Smith's team went down 21-12 to Huddersfield on Sunday afternoon at the John Smith's Stadium. A huge blow to the Rhinos' playoff push with only four games to play.
Tries from Luke Hooley and Ash Handley just before the break gave the Rhinos a glimmer of hope after conceding three tries in short succession by the hosts. However, a try-less second half that was decided by a Jake Connor "drop goal" and two Will Pryce penalty conversions was enough to seal a gritty win. The win leaves Huddersfield and Leeds on 20 points, four points below the top-six cutoff.
The Rhinos' playoff aspirations suffered a significant setback as they succumbed to a tough defeat in a gritty West Yorkshire derby. Here's everything Smith said on the drop goal incident, post-match thoughts and an update on James Bentley, who left the field early on a stretcher.Jake Connor's drop goal
"Everybody has said it didn't go through, barring the decision makers. A couple of Huddersfield players said it missed by a few metres. In the end, we had chances, but some days, it's hard to overcome that. There was a huge amount of spirit in the second half. Trying to overcome a drop goal that didn't come through.""He's ok. James was in a bad way, but he's regained conciseness. He's getting some tests, but the signs are looking good.
