Took it to us for the first 20 mins. Both sides blew some great chances first half which could have changed the game entirely.

Totally different game 2nd half, we dominated them in every department.

Well played from a Hull KR fan, glad you hammered Leeds the whinging tw@ts.

Anyone else notice how McGuire's defence out on the wing was shocking?

Kevin Sinfield should have got man of the match for St Helens.

He did give us two great tries.

It was good to see Gaskell hunting for the interception.

After 20-25 mins you could not have predicted that score, Leeds had good kick chase and very mean defence and were making yards and finding the offload.

I thought we were quite lucky to go in at half time leading but the second half display was awesome. The forwards were excellent as a unit and the half backs just keep improving.

I disagree that we were quite lucky. I think we put in a fearsome defensive display in the first half. Pity we let in two soft tries in the second - we really must stamp that out if we want to win any silverware this season (injuries pending, obviously!). Our attack in the second was a vast improvement on the first but we did get lucky with a couple of tries - interceptions are never well designed, just well spotted! Some of our tries, though, were fantastic to watch, and I'm loving our style of play under Simmons. I just wish he'd had a reasonably full team to coach this season.

I don't think anyone would have complained if we had gone in level or slightly behind at half time. We did defend our line very well but Leeds dominated territory and definitely had the chances. I was very surprised that Sinfield kicked the first penalty when they seemed to have us on the rack and then turned 2 down.
