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?

im not sure how you expect him to control dummy runners?

Brilliant.

Bailey came off 5 or so minutes after the incident, Leeds scored a little after that then controlled it for a little more when Graham (among others) were looking at winning a fight rather than the game,

Saints conceded a fair proportion of the penalties they conceded in this time

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.

i actually dont think he was Saints best Player, Pryce was very good i would have said he was MoM,

even though for large parts he wasnt involved, he was involved in most of what Saints did well, especially towards the end of the first half which was a very important part of the game,

Without Bailey we wouldnt have been close, he was the only forward to show up for Leeds

Was that the one Peacock spat out

I think you were watching a different game to me.

probably, he was poor again,

has had a poor start to the season, he is clearly tired

i would be happy to see him rested for a month or so, we are that much better than almost all other teams bar saints it wouldnt make that much difference,

As I intimated elsewhere, if those two teams were reffed to the same standards as "lesser" clubs, their would be scores of sinbinnings tonight
