its frustrating watching them this season but no less exciting.......... ![]()
At 22-14 we weren't comleting our sets and were on the rack. Saints have posession on our line and another try would probably put the game beyond us.
Up steps sir francis meli on the 2nd tackle, throws a pass to no one, burrow collects, 2 mins later we are 2 points behind.
Then, 2 points down with 5 left, saints have the overlap and look rampant.
Up steps sir francis meli and decides to run back into trouble instead of putting gardner in for the gamne clinching try.
2 mins later leeds are in front again.
Then. with 1 minute to go saints are coming forward for one last effort.
Up steps sir francis meli who throws the pass to no one, smith collects, and leeds are spared a tense couple of tackles.

Always an asset wherever he plays. Good old "Sir Francis Meli." |

Not in this sport.
Trust you enjoyed this semi-final more that the one in the mid 90's. |

I got a feeling this will be a friendly final, 2 teams at the top of their game and goodwill at the end of the game. I hope i can shake some leeds fans hands, win or lose as goodwill and respect. (show other teams the way forward in sporting rivalry)

Leeds have a lot of improvement in them IMO. Nowhere near as solid as we have been in GFs, with some periods of poor play both with and without the ball, and very very poor goal-line defence.

Both teams are very talented and neither of us are boring teams to watch, some close games in recent games should make this a classic and with two well supported teams i think the atmosphere in the stadium will be electric.
I hope it's a classic and with just a few minutes remaining capable of going either way, with a possible piece of Challenge cup magic that many remember for years.
Hope you guys get no new injuries and have a full talented squad to choose from.
See you soon guys and girls

Both teams have a lot of points in them. Its certainly not shaping up to be a low-scoring affair.

The way things are going we are always going to concede 4 or 5 tries.
I feel we can always score 5 or 6 tries.
It could all come down to the conversions.
Should be a great game with 2 great sets of fans.

I see we are going to play in our away strip. Was this decision on the toss of a coin? The last time we played the Wires in our away strip it didn't avoid a clash of colours. They have yellow shorts and in certain circumstances could confuse the officials and fans at the back of the stand.

It does seem a strange decision as we appear to clash more now then we did before as you said with the colour of their shorts and our shirts.

Not if the away kit hasn't sold as well as intended this year. |
