Seems to me like a load of nonsense from a typical Stevo rant begging for the flatcap, whippet and a pint of mild days.

Stevo seemed to think Leeds were going to steam roller Saints (and tipped them to) from the beginning and seemed to spend the next 30 minutes trying to justify why that wasn't happening, without acknowledging the fact that Saints were simply running hot for the first 25 minutes and blew them away.

It could have been worse . We could have lost to Widnes

I think that Peacock and McDermott are - to paraphrase - protesting too much. The team was off its game from the off, Sts were up for it. If Leeds had been genuinely up for that game - e.g. like they were for the Manly game - they would have only lost by a fraction, if at all.

I blame the "Rugby Gods"

The only response to this is the proverbial, "and if pigs had wings ..."

There was a gulf between those two teams last night that left me totally gobsmacked.

Whatever it was, I think it would have taken a bit more than Leeds "being up for it" to have reversed that result in any meaningful way.

Leeds were certainly very poor , but could it be that Saints wanted to play for their new coach after getting rid of RS who they did not want to play for ./

Exactly what I said last night.

Saints were obviously going to be fired up last night and seeing the Rhinos would have only added fuel to that fire. There are hundreds of ways to generate money for charity that do not wind up the opposition .

The colour of the players hair had nothing to do with it.


I hate the whinos just as much as the rest BUT on this one I say well done for having the balls to do this.

Woahhh - silly hair is the same as silly tashes. Didn't see many on here complaining when our players did the tash thing a few years back.

Bog all to do with their hair, they did a Wigan! Thought Saints would be a walk in the park as we did with Widnes.

Only lesson here is to respect the opposition.

Finally a Pie Eater who understands RL. I don't think Leeds have ever won SL without being slaughtered at St Helens at some stage during the season. They definitely stuck 40+ on us in 2004 and maybe it was only 38 in 2009. It's not unusual. Leeds were dismal last night but to blame it on half an hour spent at the barbers on Thursday last week is typical Stevo - as McDermott said, he neither doesn't understand, or has forgotten, about professional Rugby League. Saints were up for it, Leeds looked like they'd spent the day sunbathing and just woken up for the game. End of story.

Intriguing thoughts - would love to know the logic-defying reasoning behind them. Leeds' senior players are probably amongst the most respected in the sport.

On a happier note, its good to hear that the move from Knowsley Hole to the Lily Langtree Memorial stadium hasn't effected the Saints fans ability to spot forward passes.




p.s. does anyone know if the roof will be open or closed on Good Friday ?
