Leeds Rhinos' free-scoring winger Ryan Hall has refused to rule out a move to the NRL, but insists his immediate future is very much with the champions.
Twice in the last two seasons Leeds have finished fifth in the table only to go on and pip the more consistent teams during the season to Super League glory in the Grand Final.
Ambition
The Rhinos have dropped to sixth after league defeats to St Helens, Wigan Warriors and Hull FC, although Hall insists Leeds have yet to be on the end of a beating like last season's 50-8 loss to Wigan on home soil.
"Yes, but we haven't been beaten like that this year. We didn't give ourselves a very good account last week at Hull, but we had every chance of winning against Wigan and it's unfortunate we didn't.
"I think we're in a slightly different place to where we were last year, but we've set high standards for ourselves and we'll hopefully get back on the horse this week."
Leeds' defeat at the KC Stadium last Friday means they have slipped 10 points behind leaders Wigan with two games in hand and Hall believes the League Leaders' Shield is not beyond their reach.
"We aim to win it, and there's every possibility of doing that. I know Wigan are a little bit ahead of us at the moment, but they're a good side and deserve to be up there.
"They are still human, so we get to go at them again and we'll do our best to beat them, and try to catch them up on points."
