Outstanding Warrington too strong for Leeds in Super League opener

They have always known how to put a show on in this part of the world, and the opening night of the new Super League season was no different.

Chart-toppers The Lathums were booked to play pre-match while England’s strongest man, Paul Smith, attempted to set a world record at half-time.

But they only really care about one thing in this town, and there can be no escaping that last year Warrington’s players failed to match the fanfare the club often generates off the field.How Daryl Powell and his players took an emphatic first step towards putting that right here, though.

It is only the opening night and as such, it’s difficult to read anything too conclusive into what Warrington’s prospects may look like.
