George Williams ran amok as ruthless Warrington quickly showed they mean business in 2023.
Daryl Powell’s expensively-assembled side were awful last year when only relegated Toulouse finished below them. The ex-Castleford boss knows he has no excuses in his second season in charge so he’ll be delighted with their stunning Super League opening night. Slick Warrington were 30-0 up at half-time and last year’s misery already seemed long forgotten.
They were unrecognisable from that shambles. Here they played with pace, power and verve to rattle- Leeds Rhinos to the core with England scrum-half Williams involved in four of their seven tries. Indie band The Lathums played their hit Fight On before kick-off and fired-up Warrington clearly took note. Last season’s error-ridden beaten Grand Finalists had no answers.
