Leeds Rhinos are lacking points, but not positives, ahead of Friday’s trip to Wigan Warriors, long-serving back Tom Briscoe says.

Leeds will be looking to bounce back from their Betfred Super League round one loss to Warrington Wolves, when they had James Bentley sent-off in the first half, Brad Dwyer sin-binned and lost Richie Myler and David Fusitu’a to injury.

Despite that, Rhinos led by 10 points in the second half and it took Warrington until less than seven minutes from time to take a decisive two-point advantage.

Briscoe admitted it was a tough result to take after Rhinos had put so much into the game, but reckons they will be a match for any opposition if they can produce a similar performance every week.

Briscoe said: “The emotion of the game and how we lost at the back end of the second half is disappointing and hard to take, but I think we can take a lot from that game.

“The desire and the heart from everybody and our effort to cover each other, if we can harness that and take that into this week - and tidy up a bit of discipline, not put ourselves on the back foot and under a lot of pressure - we’ll put ourselves in a good position to challenge anyone.”

Rhinos have not suffered a significant injury in training since pre-season began last November, but have lost five players in warm-up games and round one.
