Watched Savelio from the age of 12 at Latchford. He will be a first team regular next year that there is no danger. Not only is he a great runner of the ball his got a very good offload game aswell. Saints did well just giving him the 10 - 15 mins. He needs minutes against poorer teams and when we have fewer injuries.

Considering the brain disease he had last year his done super making his debut this year. One down side for me is the fact if he does very well he will be picked up by the NRL. Alot of his family still live down under and he visits quite regular, also a dream of his to play down there.

Also big raps to Greg Richards, prop forward vs Leuluai and Peacock at 18 years of age.

How close is it to our best win in the summer era?

Context of a very raw team up against one of the title favourites running white hot leading up to the game

Watching all leeds games this season we have hardly run white hot, beating 3 poor teams in London Catalans and hull KR, struggled against Huddersfield to get a draw and scrapped through against an out of sorts Warrington, last night was the game to see how they have progressed, the same old in the end and to much respect for saints playing one out rugby and tactics which made it easy for saints to defend. I thought we would run away with the game in the last quarter but how wrong I was. Great Win for saints tonight and your squad has enough quality players to put 2 superleague quality teams out, if only leeds could find some quality young props that you have on board. Have no doubts you will reap the rewards of your investment in youth, I can see saints taking over the leeds past domination of superleague in years to come, your club in good hands and enjoy what's to come,
I applauded the saints performance at the end as you got what we deserved !!!!
A much deserved win and good luck for the rest of the season.

Ahem... that would be retaking over domination

We've always been there or there abouts. But to dominate would be really jumping the gun. We've won nowt yet

The future of the "S" looks to be in very safe hands

A good post especially about the quality of opposition you've met so far, but despite winning a bagful of titles, think its an overstatement to say '....Leeds past domination of Superleague'.....

Leeds have won 5 grand finals in the last 7 years. How much more dominant can you get?

Winning 6?

Aye six Grand Finals. More than any other Super League, team by a margin.

There is no pleasing some people.

despite the titles, would you really say they were dominant? Dominant should reflect their presence throughout the year or time being discussed, not just the five weeks at the end of the season. When it comes to titles, read the papers....but hardly dominant in my thoughts about the word.

A truly outstanding performance that was. I was heading to the game in downbeat, expecting us too lose. That was a magnificent performance and I for one cant remember one like it in the last 20 years I've been watching Saints...

Really?? Not one?

Do you remember the "Millward" years?

Slightly OTT
