We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

Great game. Two good sides. Not much between them can't complain really.

We had our chances Leeds had theirs in the end a goal kick between us.

A fair result.

Some big efforts tonight.

Sinfields 40/20 turned it for me.

Fantastic performance. Our pack was absolutely outstanding.

Headingley quiet as a church for most of the night.

But no matter how good you are - you can't fight being stiffed by the video ref. These guys are robbing sides week after week.

Well played lads.

what a cock, nothing wrong with the try, as someone else said in this thread Leeds hung on and the 40/20 turned the game

Headingley wasn't quiet...Sky had turned the volume levels right down, possibly because they feared the usual "referee/Phil Clarke is a ..." chants.

And the video ref got it right according to current rules. Worst decisions of the night were missing the Amor knock-on and linging McGuire for a marginal offside on his line when Saints were further offside most of the night.

Re: Dunno how some of you can call this side : Fri Oct 02, 2015 9:38 pm  
For me there were four key moments in that game. The two most obvious were Walsh's missed conversion and that brilliant 40/20 by Sinfield. The other two both involved poor decisions by Jon Wilkin (who I must say had a great game overall). The first was halfway through the first half. We were on top and had a set in the Leeds 10 and JW booted it dead on tackle 3. Straight from there we conceded a penalty and then Leeds were on top for the rest of the half. The second was with 5 mins to go. We'd been in our own 20 for a while and had made our way to Leeds's 40. Instead of putting a kick up and turning the screw on Leeds he threw a speculative long pass which turned out to be forward. We never got a look in after that. Small things, I know, but in matches like that they can be the difference.

I can't complain, though. It was about as well as we've played all year, and we had season best performances from Vea and Amor, as well as some heroic efforts from obviously injured players.

A great game, and an end to our season that probably offers a genuine reflection of where we are as a team: nearly there, but not quite.

"...the biggest boor, the most opinionated pompous bigot that frequents these
boards and he is NOT to be taken at all seriously. "

Re: Dunno how some of you can call this side : Fri Oct 02, 2015 9:48 pm  
I thought it was symptomatic of Saints whole season - Positives were great guts and character, a usually good kicking game and a good scrambling defence. Negatives were not quite enough go-forward from the pack (I suspect the stats will show we made fewer metres per carry than Leeds), and just a lack of attacking penetration. Even when we had some possession in the Leeds twenty, we rarely looked particularly dangerous to their line. Whereas when Leeds looked capable of putting together a score from a much bigger area of the pitch.

It's the attack we need sorting out next year. We need to find ways of better using Percival's elusive pace, and creating more space for Swift. But we also need to take a leaf out of Leeds's book and try to develop more of an offloading support game in the middle. A few times, particularly in the first half, we got a forward with his hands clear in the tackle, but there were no runners coming through for the offload.

On the night, a fair result (maybe without the last try which was just a bit silly and unrepresentative). Walsh is probably feeling a bit gutted about missing the conversion right now, though.

It's all very well fans praising effort but this Saints side has no punch or flair in attack.
