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.
Looking at their pre-season you just knew they'd be garbage. People say pre-season is meaningless but you can tell a lot about the attitude of a club and it's players to how professionally they approach everything - training, friendlies, finals, whatever it may be.
I said on TRL before the season started that I thought Leeds would crater this year. I know they were missing a few but there's just something shambolic and soft about them and I have no faith at all in Rohan Smith despite the back end of Leeds' season last year. If he took over at Saints I'd be absolutely terrified.
