Leeds Rhinos boss Rohan Smith admits he would have jumped at the chance of being fith in Betfred Super League with two rounds to play.

Leeds were in a relegation dogfight during the first half of the campaign and sat 10th in mid-June, but a six-game winning run has powered them into play-off contention.

Smith’s men visit Catalans Dragons on Monday and wrap up the regular season at home to Castleford Tigers five days later.

Smith, who took charge in May, insisted: “I haven’t done the maths.
