DEAF AND LUMB

Rohan defiant as Riley shines

LEEDS RHINOS boss Rohan Smith said too much gigging as a youngster meant the crowd taunts calling for him to go fell on deaf ears.

Parts of the away support were chanting "Rohan, time to go" and "we want Rohan out", despite the Rhinos winning in an error-strewn display against struggling Hull.

Leeds' main positive was 19-year-old Riley Lumb's dream debut, helping underpressure Smith (inset) secure a victory against the club that recently removed the Aussie's uncle Tony.

Hull parted ways with Tony Smith on April 11, but his nephew was lifted by two tries from Lumb.
