Not in the league but we (leeds) have won cup and play off games against you in the last couple of years

Got to give credit to Leeds. Fantastic attacking team. Big, fast backs, intelligent half backs, strong forwards and they ooze big game experience.

Roby and Walmsley were excellent tonight but we just look so light and lack pace in the backs. There's plenty of improvement in us though.

That said, it's important to remain philosophical. Leeds hadn't won at home against us in ages so a defeat shouldn't come as a surprise. A win in the cup and this game will be a very distant memory.

By ages, you mean last season?

Time for me to get a bet on us winning. The odds were terrible tonight. as was the team.

It's one of those games you've just got to close the door on. We made a ton of mistakes and we need to put them right.

The score resets to 0-0 in the Challenge Cup.

Embarrassing stats: 46 missed tackles with 40% of them contributed by Wilkin, Walsh and Burns. Add in the factor of the very low completion rate in the first half, atrocious performance of the players.
Previous home game against Leeds: 49 missed tackless with Wilkin, Walmsley and Turner the major contributors. We don,t seem to learn anything about defence when playing Leeds.

Stat Wise Wilkin has now become the worst for missed tackles, penalties and caught up with Burns for errors, is this because he is playing "2 positions" during the game.

When is Vea back, we need some energy in the pack before Walmsley gets burnt out.

I would agree with you.The mistakes your lot were making and in your own 25 zone over and over and pretty much all schoolboy stuff happens very very rarely and by the time you cut it out we were 20 points up and game over.

It was a good win for us making the most of a calamitous night for you guys but no need for any inquests,the cup tie is still very much a 50/50 game imo.

Re: Shocker : Sat Jul 04, 2015 8:21 am  

No one can deny Leeds the Glory last night, a front row with a combined age of 104 and they made more ground and breaks than Saints, many here have said and agreed for ages Saints have been winning when they perhaps didn't deserve to, but last night they got caught out well and truly. Not knocking Cunningham, but I have doubts, it has been the we can still win mentality that has won many games but not last night.

Its just like any other team, you pick yourself up and prepare for next week, no excuses.

Got link to stats? I noticed Greenwood was missing tackles as well which he was when we was winning at the start of the year.

I counted walsh missed at least 8 tackles.

I thought robes was exclent last night and was best player on the pitch. Mose looked intersted and took the ball up strong but the rest Imo was totally disgusting and embarrassing!
