cheers, the closest you have been to right in a long time

Bailey is a house.

thats an inherent problem with 'letting it flow' because 'letting it flow' means allowing rules to be broken whilst punishing them same rules at another time,

what there needs to be is rules that mean we dont get 50 penalties a game, but where whenever a rule is broken it is punished

I thought Graham was better than Bailey, his all round play particularly in defence was superb, plus he had a hand in Wheeler's try which clinched it for Saints.

Bentham did very well in keeping control of the game, we've all been to games where we've said 'the ref has lost control', that didn't happen today and it certainly could of!

Graham (among others) lost his cool, and for 20 minutes where Leeds had there best spell was because of this,

Saints were better and could have won by more had they kept their cool, but Graham especially needed to keep his head

The best 3 forwards on the pitch were Graham, Flannery and Cunningham. Leeds best was Burgess IMO, peacock had an average game and Bailey (good hit) other than that he didnt do much except hide out as a second phase player when Leeds attacked crapping himself. Senior and Gidley had a good battle in the centres and it was overall a very enjoyable game which the best team won.

When did Graham lose his cool? Graham COULD have lost his cool very easily as he was obviously wound up by Bailey's hit on his team mate, but Graham REMAINED cool, and stayed on the pitch. Bailey was the one substituted to calm down, Graham stayed on the pitch and went on to contribute to Saints scoring the clinching try.

What? By running behind his own players?

for the 10-20 minutes where leeds came back into the game, he spent more time trying to be the big man and get at Bailey than concentrating on his game

i dont think he had a 'bad' game i think he could have been better, another day another ref could have seen him, Gilmour and Cunningham gone, which would have put leeds in a strong position we didnt really earn

How did he do that when Bailey was off the field?

Brilliant.

Give over man. Flannery was MoM.

The ref and touch judges were poor.

They lost control of the match and allowed it to turn into a free for all on more than one occasion.

The ref also lost count of tackles in first half which resulted in Leeds not knowing it was last tackle. From the resulting turnover Saints scored.
Sinfield spent the next five minutes in the refs face holding 4 fingers up to indicate only 4th tackle rather than 5th.

The touch judges missed numerous forward passes. Particularly from Leeds who played a very flat passing game.

A chicken Wing tackle was also missed on Gary Wheeler in the second half.
