meh, got the 2 points without really doing enough to give much confidence going into the next 2 games. Sinfield showing that Frawley must have been playing with a lead ball.
Even taking into account how poor London are, there’s some small positives there.
All the young kids went well, but Jack especially seems to have worked on his D.
I know Miller got MOTM, but for me it’s O’Connor. He does everything well at intensity for 80 minutes. While I can give stick to smith for the lack of attacking structure, I’ll also give him credit for starting Jarrod, I think it changed our defensive intensity early doors.

Simple Rhinos Victory Compounds Broncos Misery If Round Ten of Super League had a ‘home banker' then it must be the home game for the Leeds Rhinos against a London Broncos side who have been unable to register a win all season and who are currently shipping in average in excess of thirty-eight points a game while scoring less than ten.
A big win for the Rhinos could see them into the top half of the table and would serve as some respite for their coach under fire, Rohan Smith, and the bookies were giving the visitors a twenty-eight-point start on the handicap coupon.
Should London grab a win, against all the odds, then the end of the evening could see them in eleventh place in the table should Hull FC sustain a heavy loss against the Warrington Wolves.

Interesting that Miller told Sky for his player of the match interview something along the lines that Leeds had the right people on the pitch and the right people in charge of the club. Looks like the players are rallying around Smith and want the fans to stop being a bunch of whingers like many on this forum.
I'm not getting carried away at all after beating London: from the run of games we've had this season IMO Smith has done enough to justify a bit more patience from the fans. It hasn't been great, it hasn't been as bad as some are making out, and I'm genuinely interested to see if we see a reaction or improvement against the better teams. Either way I think its time for the fans to just back the team a bit more...
That game was made for Miller. Good performance particularly with the injuries before and during the game. Sinfield did enough to keep his spot. Kept things moving nicely even after Croft went off. Thought Goudemand had a good game. Always liked a medium-sized middle. Bring back Bodene.
A few nice breaks and some decent tries but lacked a fair bit. Hopefully lumbs injury isn't bad. He's seemed decent on that wing (albeit against poor opposition). Need a big improvement in forwards next week if we stand a chan
Got another 2 points won the game in first 40 without being too flattering but can only beat what's infront of you and all that.
Sinfield offered more in 1 game than Frawley has in 10 so he should be first choice 7 for the foreseeable imo, however depending on what Croft has done tonight we might be seeing Sinfield & Frawley as our half back pairing.
Feel for Riley Lumb doing his hamstring in first minute hopefully its not too serious for him.
Real tests coming up in next few weeks with away trips to catalans & saints the challange cup weekend gives us a week to recover and get some much needed troops back.
Liked JOC starting and Ackers coming on after, that seemed to work well.
Oledski unsung hero today, he played nice and direct, lots of work in D too, am guessing his stats will look good.
Croft is integral to anything positive we might do this year - hope he isn't injured and is fit for the next 2 games, we need him.
Bit worried about our size against Cats next week. Also on the wings Handley still isn't fit I'll guarantee - ribs are notoriously difficult injuries to heal from.
