Sorry to go so wildly off topic but I thought our goal-line defence was pretty marvelous again today. Some awesome last ditch efforts to hold up or drag players into touch when they looked more likely to score than not.

Me.

What do I win ?

Joie de vivre. And just in time too.

But I'm stuck in Birmingham, its ineffective here, everyone sounds like their best dog just died in their arms.

the 70-0 demolition of Saints was a scintillating dispay of attacking rugby that blew away a very decent side (albeit having a few issues at that stage). It was thrilling, and it was also a novelty. A packed house on a warm evening barely stopped singing all night. It was brilliant. Probably the most complete, intense, ruthless and devastating display I've seen from a Leeds team.

Comfortably disposing of a very, very ordinary Bradford team without getting out of 3rd gear is not quite the same.

For me it's about intensity and a sense of occasion rather than scorelines.

Saints had put 50+ past leeds earlier that season when leeds were unbeaten in the league as well winning the CC. They were in the top 5.

When do you ever see CC holders and top 5 teams have 70 put past them these days? The standard back then was shocking
