in the u15,s game leeds won 30-24. despite the close score leeds were far better, the score given a closer look due to a late saints surge. centre matt whiteley was saints star man, he looked a threat every time he had the ball.

can't remember the u16's score but it was a big leeds win, around 42-16.
for you guys the second rower luke thomson looked a class act and prop conor smith worked hard but leeds pack was far too good for the saints youngsters.

i saw the first half of the u18,s and saints were winning 14-10 when i had to leave.

one thing i noticed was the odd player apart how much bigger the leeds lads were. still, size isn't everything as my mrs says, so plenty of time for players to develop

I'm sorry "tad rhino" ive got to disagree with ur comment about the u15's being "far better" than Saints...i was at the game too n yes leeds did play well but only some poor defence from saints in the 1st half let rhino's pull away a bit. Would be nice if u gave saints some credit for coming back into the game, they never gave up and worked hard for each other in the 2nd half and were unlucky not to get something out of the game.

I'm not convinced Yates is as good as you think he is.

Rogues, from what i have seen his lack of size could be a real problem if he is to play SL in the next few seasons.

What do you mean by lack of size ?

The lads put on plenty of weight over the last 12 months (Muscle) but i'd agree he is not the tallest. But neither is Wheeler and Lomax.

It was only when Leeds eased offsaints got back into it. Fair ay they never gave up but I thought Leeds were much the better team on the day. I'm not here to score points bud, just thoughtigive yousome input on today

I know your not on here to score points mate but i was at the game and from what you say on here it sounds like it was all Leeds. You say they were "much better on the day" n Saints only got back into it coz Leeds "eased off"....Leeds won 1st half 16-6 n Saints won 2nd half 20-14..The pattern of play was similar..1st half Saints score 1st then Leeds hit back with 3 tries...2nd half Leeds score 1st n Saints hit back with 2 tries, then Leeds score n then Saints score again, the final whistle goes with Saints pressing on the Leeds line so to me that sounds like a pretty even game and BOTH team deserved a clap . Just wanna add i thought your number 8 had a good game n ran hard n 13 looked a decent player too
