Leeds full-back Miller ruled out of Super League play-offs
Leeds Rhinos have been dealt a significant blow ahead of the Super League play-offs with the news that full-back Lachie Miller has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The Australian, who has been a key figure for Leeds this season, is expected to face a spell on the sidelines, forcing head coach Rohan Smith into a reshuffle at the back. His absence comes at a critical juncture as Leeds chase Super League glory, with the play-off format offering little room for error.
Read the full story at skysports.comLosing a first-choice full-back at the sharp end of the season is a heavy blow for any club, and Miller's absence removes both a reliable last line of defence and a key attacking outlet from Leeds' kicking game. Rohan Smith will need to find a replacement who can cover sweeping duties, organise the back field and contribute to the Rhinos' ball-playing structure under pressure. Whether Leeds can adapt without Miller may well shape how far they go in the play-offs.
