If you had met a full strength saints side today i think you would have been comfortably beaten, without Eastmond and Pryce saints had no creativity, no kicking game, no pace or organisation in the half backs. Look what happened when Wilkin got hold of the ball near the end which was early into the tackle count, he put in a nothing kick straight to one of your players in the in goal.

I didn`t mind who won today as i just wanted to sit back and enjoy a good game, it turned out to be an exciting for the neutrel.

As far as the game goes, i think their was one big turning point apart from saints losing Pryce before the game. It was when Bentham awarded Danny McGuire a try from a forward pass by Keith Senior, that gave you momentum and put you on a roll from which saints never quite recovered.

The turning point was Meli being a greedy get and not putting his winger in for a walk in try

The turning point was without doubt the reintroduction of Buderus and f**k knows why we took him off in the first place.

Very true sheer class

well played the whole team, found a bit of form that still needs work but getting there, special mention to RB, DB and mags. No need to get carried away but the run in as started well and by the way staying at westminster plaza friday to Sun been booked 9 month new it was gonna be our year.

Congrats and well done.

Thought Leeds was just to fast for us today, we can't live with pace.

Thought maguire was awesome, his speed was unreal today, looked like the maguire of few years back.

Good luck at wembley.

Maybe he plays well in spells ?

Its fairly common.

The drop ball in the first min of 2nd half by wilkin was the turning point, just after scoring two tries before halftime, we needed to start well.

We went from you kicking off to you scoring after 2mins of 2nd half which got your tails up.

Your pace killed us, we couldn't handle your pace.

Hope you win at wembley, unless Catalan get there.

To be fair Leeds had a similar kicking game with three half backs

No doubt injuries had an effect on how Saints played today but just so you and anyone else know we have beaten them before when they've had these players available in fact L.Pryce is the GF hide 'n' seek champ in GF's so lets not get carried away we were stil missing our most destructive back-rower in Ali and a work-horse in Ablett.

Yes. Thats shown me hasn't it. 18 months I've waited for that.

5 years since our last CC final isn't it?
Why don't you talk us through the respective performances of our 2 hookers today?

Relevance?




Buderus was head and shoulders above Diskin as I've already stated.

That makes up for the last 18 months of mediocrity for all the fekwits.

Excellent observation shag.

We looked much better. Freed up McGuire to do what he does best. Considering some were ready to offload Rob after his injury I would hope today would shut them up but judging by comments on here it seems some still can't see it.
