Liana Leota has warned her Leeds Rhinos players the next three games will decide the destiny of their Super League season.
The Rhinos’ director of netball refused to sugarcoat the second sluggish start to a season under her tenure after she was left angry that Leeds let a result slip from their grasp in losing narrowly to London Pulse in Hull last Friday night. The defeat was their fifth in six games, leaving them already facing a mountain to climb to reach the top four and qualify for the play-offs with a third of the season now elapsed.
“The game against Pulse was there for the taking, we got so much ball and we just didn’t put it through the hoop, we just didn’t cherish the ball on attack. “We showed plenty of fight in the last two minutes but it just leaves me asking ‘where was that fight throughout the whole game?’ It’s frustrating. “We need to get over this hump in order to start playing well, having confidence and just believing in our structures and our game plan.
