Meli made a couple of crucial and daft mistakes. We let in a soft try from dummy half.

But you could also argue that a lack of cutting edge kept it such a close game were a couple of errors was always going to be the difference.

We made a mass of yards, but were generally toothless the nearer we got to their line. How many drops outs did we force, how often did we look like scoring? Not enough considering the territory we won.

Massive effort from the Saints, could have gone either way.

both our wingers' mistakes cost us the game

I'm fed up hearing this. The guy - however great going forward he is - is an utter incompetant clown when it comes to dealing with pressure situations defending. He can bugger off now for all I care.

a winger has only 2 jobs, score tries and defend kicks, you fail mr meli

But really he had a typical game tonight. We can wax lyrical about how he should of just taken that ball for a drop out instead of trying to palm it but he was better than Wellens in returning the game over the whole eighty tonight

thats gash, wello made 60 metres in just 2 returns!

You make a thread for Meli, yet no thread for Ade (the test fu*king thing since slice bread) Gardner ? Gardner is the winger we need rid of. Meli makes brain farts, as fans we know this. As fans we know he is also a very good player when the ball is in his hands. So use him to his strength, stick him in the second row. Gardner on the other hand is complete nob jockey! I hate him with a passion, he is crap! he is sh*t! words cannot describe how crap Gardner is! He is worse than Rikki Sherrife! The guy would not gain a starting berth at Bold Miners or Blackbrook! SH*TE!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Francis Meli's Mum.

Flannery was Saints m.o.m. by a long way.

Not at all. Francis Meli returning the ball tonight was fantastic! He made huge strides into Leeds defence. When he made the mistake i thourght his head would drop. Instead he carried on his form from the last 10 weeks (being our best attacking player imo). He is a powerhouse who we do not use to his strengths. Vainikolo was awfull at dealing with kicks.

At the end of the day, WE lost this game. Silly errors cost us the game (not only Brain farts by Meli but the holding down we did on Leeds when they was in there own 20 and struggling!).

Im amazed how many people stick up for Ade Gardner! He is a complete Joke! P*ss off Gardner.

I think Gardner plays well when the team are playing well. When we're struggling he's exposed, both for Saints in recent years and horrendously in Great Britain/England shirt.
