They’re missing a few but I’ve not thought much to some of the ‘inventive’ changes made by Rohan Smith going in to the year. Players out of position, short kick offs and drop outs and no captain all just feels like a guy trying to be different for the sake of it, as though he wants to be Rugby Leagues own Pep Guardiola and to be seen as a revolutionary. He had them playing so well at the back end of last season and I just don’t get the experimental nature of their pre season.
Shocked by how poor they were.
They looked massively off the pace, and only got the late tries because Warrington had backed off. One of those late tries, the Wire defender made no effort to tackle him at all. They'd clearly put the cue on the rack.
I honestly saw nothing in that Leeds side to worry any other team in the league. There was no danger there at all.
First game, yeah. Too early to say, things can change etc etc. But it sounds as though they've had a clownish pre-season, and I can't help wondering if the Rohan Smith bubble is going to burst in 2023.
