SCARED OR SOUTH SCARRED

Trying times at Leeds as assistant Chev admits Rhinos are feeling the pressure but expects them to hit back

- DAVE CRAVEN

JOINT-CARETAKER boss Chev Walker admits some Leeds players are wilting under pressure but just need reminding they are good enough.

Rhinos take on Leigh tonight barely 48 hours after head coach Rohan Smith (inset, below) was relieved of duties in the Headingley hotseat.

That decision came after a raft of poor performances this term, the nadir being Saturday's horror show loss at Hull.

Assistants Walker (right) and Scott Grix look to steady the ship as sporting director Ian Blease begins the search for a new head coach.

It will be an emotional night as Leeds celebrate the life of the iconic Rob Burrow on Global MND Awareness Day.

And Walker, 41, is confident the squad, stuck outside the play-offs in seventh, have it in them to turn things around.
