Preview: Leeds v Harlequins (Round 13)

Leeds and Bradford aim to keep the pressure on runaway leaders St Helens, who do not play until Saturday.

The Rhinos take on Harlequins at Headingley looking to bounce back from their 44-16 defeat at Warrington which left them six points behind the pacesetters.

Coach Tony Smith said: ?We were all bitterly disappointed with the performance against Warrington but none more so than the players.

?The game was a real kick up the backside for us and, whilst it is one we would prefer to do without, occasionally these things happen.

?It is how you respond that counts in the end and the players have been great in training this week and hopefully we can put that into action on the field.?

Harlequins will be without scrum-half Thomas Leuluai, who is on Test duty in Brisbane, as they look to make amends for their humiliating 60-0 home defeat by Leeds in March.

Leuluai?s absence could give Henry Paul the chance to take centre stage following his substitute appearance in last week?s win over Huddersfield.
