Coach Rohan Smith reflects on Leeds Rhinos' nervy 18-12 win at Hull FC.

00:00 I saw how they were able to kick Chase well and make him kick from their own half which

00:05 I think we did a pretty good job at overall.

00:07 I'm particularly pleased with a lot of the young kids, how they defended at the back

00:11 end of that game when the game was on the line and there was a lot of pressure in that

00:15 game and we had a 21-year-old and two 18, 19-year-olds defending on the end of the line

00:23 and coming up with important plays.

00:25 So I thought defensively and overall energy I thought was good today.

00:31 Would have preferred a bit better execution of some of our stuff at times to apply a bit

00:37 more pressure at the end of our sets but overall came to do a job against a very spirited and

00:44 energetic team today and we got what we needed.

00:48 Two points were the key thing I guess, got what you needed as you said there.

00:52 Defense lacking some polish, would that be fair to say on attack particularly?

00:58 Yeah I thought we created a lot of opportunities and a lot of momentum but we didn't execute

01:04 on the back of that, lacked a bit of patience at times and a bit of precision but it's difficult

01:09 sometimes to attack against scrambling defence that's not in its regular structure but I

01:16 thought we definitely lacked some precision at the end of things but created more than

01:22 enough opportunities today.
