| Playing in a game of professional sport in front of a large crowd and featuring Live on TV whilst having bright pink hair would not aid your mental preparation and focus for the task in hand. It was a stupid thing to do, i don't for one minute think that was the reason we lost, but i do believe it had a bearing on the manner in which we lost.
Raising money for a good cause is great, doing it in a manner in which compromises your mental state before & during a game in which attitude is paramount is not great.

| Well it never harmed Scott Donalds performance. in all seriousness it was for a good cause, and I doubt they would have made as much money if they would had decided to have worn a red band, or something like that. I think Peacock's tweets sums it up pretty well.

| I can't see how having dyed your hair hi vis pink would effect your mental
Preparation at all. We got beat by a better team on the night and the hair had sod all to do with it.

| Fair enough wearing the socks to support Sport Relief, but I think the pink hair must have been a distraction for the players, and management. How could the coach rollock the team at half time, when they looked like a box of matches?
Not saying the result would have been too different as Saints had a blinder. It reminded me of when Saints dyed their hair blonde when they played in Aus, and got thumped too.

On a different point, the worst bit of the commentary was their implied belittling of our Grand Final win - if Shenton/Wellens had stayed on would Saints have won? Nonsensical and disrespectful.'"
That annoyed me too did that. Not content with attempting simultaneous orgasms from the commentary box they're now trying to rewrite the record books.

Really laughed at this
Leeds were crap tonight....pink hair or not (why did [uall[/u the team not sport the same hair do?). However I have to agree it didn't help in being convinced of the team's attitude to winning this match.

They were at it Friday night too referring the Wigan and Warrington game to the "real" grand final and the "other" grand final. Just don't get what there problem is with a team thats been champions 4 of the last 5 years!

| Thought it came across as massively disrespectful to a Saints team who were very obviously going to be well up for that game. It may or may not have disrupted preparations but in my book it was unprofessional to even take the chance that it might - or to provide further incentive to Saints.

| I don't have a problem with the Hair thing, it's part of team bonding and for a good cause. I do have a problem with the way we played (or didn't) and this is the thing we need to sort out, not the colour of their hair.

| Quote Ferdy="Ferdy"Can't agree with Eddie and stevo though. The hair cut is not the reason we are losing. Won't have effected us at all. Apparently according to stevo raising money for charity is unprofessional!'"
Dissagree. Yesterday right form the off was an attitude problem rather than a quality/talent issue. Their heads were completely in the wrong place leading up to that game. It doesn't take much to be confident of attributing some of that to the silly hair thing.
What started out as a good cause and the club trying to make the right noises, turned out a complete and utter embarrassement. They looked an absolute joke to a national audience.
