Super League Grand Final: 'Exceptional' Leeds Rhinos a threat to St Helens

Leeds Rhinos are playing in the Super League Grand Final on Saturday. They finished the regular season in fifth place. The club had a lot of injuries and suspensions at the start of the season. Jamie Jones-Buchanan took charge of them for six weeks. He was replaced by Rohan Smith. They could win the title for the third time. St Helens are the reigning champions.

Rhinos are in the Grand Final. Rohan Smith has been a key player in their development. Leeds were written off during the season. They are now in a position to win the title. They were predicted not to make the play-offs. Now they are there. It's been an amazing season for Leeds. There are lessons to be learned. The team is in Grand final.

Jones-Buchanan was part of Leeds' golden generation that won a total of eight Grand Finals, two Challenge Cup finals and three World Club Challenge finals. He has to put the glory years behind him when dealing with the current crop of players. Leeds is a completely different club in 2022. The environment at the club is very different to what his cohort experience was.

Rohan Smith has brought the 'enjoyment' back to Leeds Rhinos. He has also inspired coach Jones-Buchanan to change his approach. The team is going to play in the Super League Grand Final. They are looking forward to it. It's been a difficult year for Jones Buchanan.
