Lee Posted August 7, 2010 Author Posted August 7, 2010 Agreed. Although I can't quite bring myself to share the sentiments in the thread title!

nec Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Well done Leeds! I don't understand the need for a Yorkshire side though, I thoroughly enjoyed the Hull derby in 1980 & the Hull v Fev match without bemoaning the need for Lancastrian involvement & would support anyone other than Aussies against Wigan Rugby League is a sport that desperately needs to expand its geographical supporter base and its player base. This imperative means that all other requirements are secondary until this is done. All power in the game should be with governing bodies, especially international governing bodies. Without these actions we will remain a minor sport internationally and nationally.

JohnM Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Close call and the last 30 minutes the game really came alive! Had they lost, Leeds would only have had themselves to blame. Saints looked somewhat slow and pedestrian to me at times and not the fast reaction creative team I expected. Overall, in my view, the better team won.
Amber Avenger Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 If Leeds win the cup, they'll properly deserve it, having beaten every team above them in the league (on the presumption Wire win tommmorow). Even when Saints were ahead they never looked like they were going to win for mine. SQL Honours Play off mini league winner - 2002. Bronze Medalist - 2003. Big Split Group Winner - 2006.

Even when Saints were ahead they never looked like they were going to win for mine. I think that after that Meli walk-in, they had to respond from the break, or fail. They came up with the goods. Great game, see-sawing scorelines, Leeds, well done. I think the disruption to the stains halves ultimately cost them, but you only beat the 13 on the field(plus 4, I know) on the day. Wires record breaking 10 match run: L 16-17 ; L 34-36 ; L 24-44 ; L 20-38 ; L 8-46; L 14-26 ; L 20-40 ; L 22-48 ; L 14-20 ; L 8-60. Thanks Jimmy.The Glamour Club. Apparently.

ParisSurtout Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I m amazed that no one mentioned the absence of Kyle Eastmond, the greatest attacking force in Super League, and Leon Pryce, an effective SL club player, from the St Helens lineup. St Helens were, at the last minute denied the presence of both their halves. The halves, if talented, are the brains behind any team's attack. How could that loss of first choice halves, especially one as brilliant as Kyle Eastmond, not have had an impact on the result?

terrywebbisgod Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 It's been mentioned in the match thread, with most Leeds supporters saying the outcome would have been different if Pryce and Eastmond were fit. Thank you for your valuable contribution.

What ifs don't win or loose games, the game would have been different if different players were on the pitch, but it would have been different if there was a thunderstorm during the game or if the referee had worn a bucket on his head. Leeds could have won by more if Eastmond and Pryce where on, who knows.
