Rugby League Experts Predict Tough Road Ahead for Leeds Rhinos
As the pressure mounts on Leeds Rhinos head coach Rohan Smith, rugby league pundits have expressed concerns about the team’s recent form and their ability to turn things around in their upcoming matches.
Sky Sports analyst Kyle Amor believes that the Rhinos are so out of form that they might struggle to beat the current bottom three teams in the Super League. Amor pointed out that Leeds’ next four games are against Castleford, Hull FC, Leigh Leopards, and London, suggesting that this run of fixtures should provide a “pressure release” for Smith.
“I don’t believe they have the right to expect three wins from those four games. I wouldn’t be surprised if Leeds only managed to win one of those matches.”

However, the former St Helens forward warned that the Rhinos’ poor run of form could prove to be a “banana skin” for the team, and he doesn’t believe they have the right to expect three wins from those four games. Amor went as far as to say that he wouldn’t be surprised if Leeds only managed to win one of those matches.
The Rhinos’ inconsistency has been a source of frustration for fans and pundits alike. Former player Jamie Jones-Buchanan acknowledged that the team has experienced a “worrying trend” of being too inconsistent, particularly after their disappointing loss to St Helens.
With the pressure mounting on Smith, the next four games could be a crucial test for the Leeds Rhinos. As Amor pointed out, the team has spent a significant amount of money on their squad, and the expectation is that they should be able to capitalize on this run of fixtures against the bottom three teams. However, the experts seem to be doubting the Rhinos’ ability to do so, highlighting the team’s worrying form and the need for a significant turnaround.
