Rhinos fans hail try of season and urge Arthur to stay on

Our panelists reflect on Leeds' 14-8 win at Hull KR

Name: Becky Oxley Age: 42 Rhinos fan for: 32 yrs Lives: Seacroft A Sunday afternoon visit to Hull KR produced exactly the match I anticipated.

The highlight of the game was Lachie Miller both setting up and scoring what I believe to be the try of the season, resulting from a near-length-of-the-field effort. The match was thrilling and, in the second half, we showcased some exceptional rugby, demonstrating our skills impressively.

Hull KR are not easy opponents-having lost only once this season, to Wigan-so securing two points at this stage of the competition gives us optimism and a solid chance to contend for a top-two finish by the end of the season.

There has been considerable discussion this week regarding Jake Connor's absence from the England squad and Brad Arthur's role as coach for the next season. I appreciate that this has not affected the team and we remain focused on the league. I hope we can retain BA for next season, but will fully respect his decision, whatever it may be.

Personally, I believe Connor should have been included in the England squad. Perhaps I am biased as a Rhinos supporter, but he is demonstrating the necessary skills and the statistics support this. He is currently leading the Man Of Steel rankings and the player he has been this year has exhibited remarkable composure and talent.

People thought I was mad last week when I tipped Leeds Rhinos to win at Hull KR, but the boys proved me right with a performance of class, aggression and patience.

Patience was most definitely needed; playing into a fierce wind it was hard to get any play down in Rovers' half and it was in the stars Rhyse Martin would score against us. But come the second half, the boys took over and a win was the only possible outcome.
