After 20-25 mins you could not have predicted that score, Leeds had good kick chase and very mean defence and were making yards and finding the offload.

I thought we were quite lucky to go in at half time leading but the second half display was awesome. The forwards were excellent as a unit and the half backs just keep improving.

I won't deny that it's skilful, but unless he struggles to pass off his left hand then why even try it in that situation?

Not being able to pass of both hands isn't new in the British game - I can rememebr Andy Gregory, Tony Smith and Sean Long all switching hands to pass off their 'stronger' hand in international matches in the past, a shocking state of affairs for some of our leading halfbacks of the last 20 years.

I have a bit of a theory re this, and that if you flick pass, you do so with the back of your hand in front of the ball. That makes it a lot more natural to pass the ball backwards when running with the ball.
Holding a ball to pass the traditional way, involves moving both hands to the front of the body which alters your of gravity, this unbalances the ball carrying runner, and also has a far greater chance of being passed forward.

Did anyone else hear the Saints fan in the crowd, i think it was the 38th minute, the rest of the crowd must have been having a drink cos it had gone a bit quite, and this guy shouts out " THERE ALL OFFSIDE YOU BELLEND".
Proper made me laugh, but the guy was right.
At the beginning of the season I didn't rate any of Saints young lads,but they've made me change my mind, especially Lomax, he is a very good player.

I did, given the thread on the tiff between Graham and Wilkin, when I watched the game again I couldn't believe it hadn't been mentioned.

Its not something new I don't think but it is something that seems to be becoming more and more common since Jamie Lyon and Benji Marshall started doing it on a regular basis. I suppose young players are going to try and immitate their heroes.

On Leeds, well we're a shambles at the moment. No pace in the backs, no grunt up front and no brain cells on the coaching staff. The half backs are almost non existant because they have zero platform to work from. The biggest problem for me is their inability to control the ruck with and without the ball.
