Hopefully our top try scorer will have more than 11 or 14 tries as this has been the case for past 2 years.

I think the momentum swung their way after Walker's try was chalked off; they had more of the ball, we did more defence at a time in the game when fatigue is beginning to be more of an issue and, to be fair, it's always easier to find the energy with ball in hand. I did feel we 'clocked off' a bit though but against a quality Leeds side, who are used to winning, it was generally a good performance to dominate as much of the game as we did.
Nil desperandum.

Maybe it is a bit far, maybe not, but not long ago Saints wouldn't have been in for the likes of Shenton or McCarthy-Scarsbrook, and the performance was a country mile off "vintage Saints". For large portions of the game they offered no attacking threat at all.

Looking forward to Sunday for a variety of reasons, not least off the back of the performance yesterday (for the first 60 minutes anyway). As well as a bumper crowd, coupled with some hopefully nice weather, I genuinely think we have a chance.

And, I'm led to believe Langley could be OK for Sunday.

Where did you pick that one up from? Everything I've seen said it was dislocated shoulder?

James Donaldson last night.

I was impressed with Bradford on Sunday.

You looked very organised and Mick Potter has obviousley been doing his homework on your current squad to get more from them. I think the future under Potter looks very promising indeed and i thought you deserved the victory.

Penalty try - absolutley not.

As for Wigan well i think the Saints game actually did us a lot of good, Maguire will making sure the players know why they didnt win the game on Saturday and there is a lot of hard work ahead for us if we are too win another championship in 2011.

Any kind of a victory for Wigan would please me on Sunday but its by no means guaranteed. The injury to Paul Deacon is a realy worry with one eye on the WCC game and Madge may choose to rest him.

Crusaders away would become a very awkward game to collect our first win of the season if we lose at home to a very good Wigan side. I know I sound pessimistic but this is the challenge we will probably face and the longer it takes to collect that first victory the more memories of last year will come to the fore.

I sincerely hope im wrong but we need to win soon as id hate to see any hangover this season from the last.

Well Im not sure that's the case. Last season, there was a question over the commitment of certain players in loses. As long as we can step up on Sunday as we did in Cardiff then I'm not too concerned as that first win will come sooner rather than later.

If Langley is fit to play along with Herbert I think we have every chance of putting on an upset.

Before the season started, and looking at the fixtures, I didn't really expect much from the first two games. So now that I've calmed down from yesterday, I'm taking the positives from what was actually a very good and competitive performance

More of the same on Sunday will do me, and if we do get the win it will be a bonus. But so long as we match Wigan and play like we did yesterday, then I won't be too worried if we slip to a loss.

It's a long season, and I am sure we will win more than we lose, and I expect us to comfortably make the 8

Lets hope it is different to last season when Langley was 'certain to play in the next match' and no-one saw him for about 12 rounds!!

That was nowt too do with injury apparently.

So what was it down to, Red?
