On Friday, Rohan Smith selected a side that's average age was 26 years of age. Of those 17 players, eight of them were under the age of 24. Break it down further and six players in the squad that beat Hull FC still have less than 50 Super League appearances to their name.
It's easy to forget but this Leeds Rhinos squad is still a young side. When Rohan Smith took on the job he was tasked with overseeing a rebuild and the reality is that, despite reaching last year's Grand Final, he is still only 12 months into a long-term project.
Everyone wants immediate success and Leeds are no different. There's no saying they can't win trophies this year. Despite being inconsistent week-to-week, they've still won more games than they've lost and they'll feel they can still get much better.
