Toulouse Olympique v Leeds Rhinos: Brad Arthur calls for mindset change away from Headingley

Brad Arthur has challenged Leeds Rhinos to take their perfect home form on the road.

The Rhinos have turned Headingley into a fortress this season, winning all seven games in front of their own fans.

By contrast, they have lost three of their six away fixtures in Super League and were also beaten on the road at Wakefield Trinity in the Challenge Cup.

Leeds remain well placed for the League Leaders' Shield despite their travel sickness but Arthur recognises the importance of maintaining their momentum away from Headingley.

The Australian has called for a mindset change, starting against Toulouse Olympique tonight.

"Toulouse play with plenty of energy," said Arthur, who is set to name the same team that beat St Helens last time out.

"I'm sure they'll have plenty of belief on the back of their impressive performance (against Huddersfield Giants) last week.

"Playing at home, they would probably see themselves as being under no pressure in this game so they'll come out and try to have a nice, energetic start to see where we're at.

"The focus for us is to work on our away performances. We need to be more professional with our away performances.

"Our effort and attitude have been okay away from home but our composure and professionalism around how we want to play are not quite at the level I'm expecting."
