A lot of attention may have been afforded to Sam Lisone on his Leeds Rhinos debut, but after the hooter sounded, a number of other players had caught the eye more. In what was a good hit out with strong intensity levels, we take a look at three standouts for the Rhinos.
Luis Roberts
In what was his first outing in blue and amber, the former Leigh centre made quite the introduction. It had looked like it could be a long afternoon when Ricky Leutele got the better of him for Leigh's opening try, with the former Huddersfield centre getting on his outside a bit too easy before passing to Josh Charnley to score. But his response was fantastic. His try was an absolute beauty, bashing his way through Leutele, no mean feat, to break free. With Hardaker to beat, he sold one of the best defensive players ever with a superb dummy and went to the line himself. Can pre-season scores be try of the season contenders? If so, it will be up there. After that, he defended Leutele excellently, denying him any further opportunities and even prompting a knock-on. At a time when Leeds are short of their two front-line centres, Roberts might have just put Rohan Smith's mind at ease for round one.
