The season run-in is all about putting wins on the board, says boss Arthur

Boss Brad Arthur has set Leeds Rhinos a straightforward target over the final seven games of the season: win as many as you can.

Two defeats in their last three games - to top-six rivals St Helens and Wakefield Trinity - have left Rhinos' hopes of a top-three finish hanging by a threat ahead of this evening's trip to third-placed Leigh Leopards.

Leigh will go five points clear if they win, but a Leeds victory would close the gap to one and put the visitors - who are fifth - right back in the top four hunt with six games remaining.

The leading quartet at the end of the regular season will be guaranteed a home playoff, but Arthur stressed: "We've just got to take it each week at a time." He insisted: "We know if you try and win as many games as possible, you put yourself in the frame. You don't want to be relying on other results. It is a big game for us this week and we'll see where we get to after that."
