If people didn't realise the extent of the issues at Headingley, they do now.
If any of the candidates in the running for the Leeds Rhinos job watched their Challenge Cup defeat to Castleford Tigers, you couldn't blame them for ringing Gary Hetherington and backing out during the half-time break. An utterly diabolical first-half performance was, for now at least, rock bottom.
It was a performance that encapsulated everything wrong with this Leeds Rhinos squad at present. They are fragile, they look frightened and they have no resilience. The message from the squad in the days following Richard Agar's departure was that their jobs and their roles had been made simpler under Jamie Jones-Buchanan.
