Which team was preparing for Wembley? Leeds were totally disinterested tonight. The gulf in class between the teams was gigantic. We are a bottom 4 side at best. We need to keep looking over our shoulder as we are not safe yet.

From seeing Tommy hobbling badly on crutches and in a boot still I cant see him playing again this season. He could put no weight on it at all tonight so must have had a recurrence unfortunately.

Saints far too good for us tonight. They are too good for everyone at the moment so that is no knock on Leeds. We went with them in the 1st half but they are a fast and dangerous team and simply beat us fair and square.

We battled and played some good stuff at times but they blew us away 2nd half. Were a better team than we was 6 to 8 week ago but were a long way behind them at the moment. They had some top class players out too.

Onto London now.

Saints are a class above everyone, they're 16 points clear, second place are nearer the bottom points wise, the gulf in class isn't just between us and Saints

You won't win many games if you complete at 55%, and don't deal with kicks properly.
Some of the first contact in defence was really poor as well. Yes, Saints were better, but technically we were shocking at times, and forced too many passes.

Tui for Lui think Salford got the best of the deal,Tui been a revelation at Salford 4 wins on the bounce.A team of players that no other S.L. club wanted favourites for the drop at the season started.No money,small crowd lowest budget in S.L. yet they keep winning,Lannon discarded by K.R another player giving 100%.Gleeson,Lui and Sau all leave in same month,Wigan sign Hastings no disruption Salford keep going.Hastings nobody would touch him with a barge pole,now favourite for man of steel.

Error

Agreed. Saints played well but we were the masters of our own downfall last night. Too many errors. Laziness. Lack of skill. A good wake up call that last night. A reminder that we have lots of work to do on and off the field.

2 steps forward and one step back ,I never had this game marked down as a win ,but I thought it would have been closer . Were are still entrenched in a relegation fight . Glad when it's over

Curhberson made errors at key times that meant we went from 10-6 to 24-10 with barely touching the ball.

Tactic of throwing the ball around was obviously a tactic to disrupt saints and keep them honest. It didn't work

To be fair, the knock on I think you're referring to was at the play the ball, not from an offload.

Luke Briscoe and Newman's inability to deal with 2 pretty innocuous kicks is what killed the game off.

He did. But at the same time, Briscoe was directly at fault for three tries, with pathetic efforts. If I never saw him again in a Leeds shirt it would still be too soon.

And when the coach talks about certain players short changing others. There was a lot of people leaving defence for others, and I include Merrin in that, who did it a few times, despite his overall efforts been massive. But how do you justify what Sutcliffe gave after his introduction? 2 tackles, 1 miss, 2 errors, and 1 carry for a massive 1 metres. Utterly pathetic that.

I'm not sure a guard of honour for winning the league leaders shield was a well placed gesture last night from leeds. Seemed a little sycophantic.
