The Rhinos were shocking in their clash with Hull FC and that performance was enough to see a parting of the ways between the club and head coach Rohan Smith.

LEIGH LEOPARDS FORM: LEOPARDS BOUNCE BACK IN STYLE
After a frustrating loss to Hull KR in which they were kept scoreless, the Leopards produced a brilliant defensive of their own as they restricted Catalans Dragons to just two points in their win in Perpignan last weekend.

LEEDS RHINOS VS LEIGH LEOPARDS PREDICTION
Leeds Rhinos were humiliated by Hull FC last week and that abysmal showing was the final straw for the club. They will now search for a new head coach but things could worsen for them here as they take on a Leigh Leopards side that have lost just one of their last six. They showed their defensive qualities last week as they overcame Catalans Dragons and they should be too good once again.
