2 squandered opportunities for saints now...Cunningham will be livid

[Yosser 624]

Lazy pick up

[Crunchers Dad 102]

Despite all the offloads, breaks, territory and possession Leeds have had; it's only 12-0

[chuffer 1,785]

Vea is an animal, wish we had someone in our pack like him

[Monkeydo 137]

Think LMS has gone off, expecting an improvement from Saints now

[Monkeydo 137]

Belter of a try!

Great try...awesome break n pass from walmsley

[Crunchers Dad 102]

Super, super, Saints

[Monkeydo 137]

No worries about the TJ calling a forward pass, its that idiot Cobb running the line

[Old Frightful 5,532]

What a beaut!

Saints back in it right on half time.

Saints will go in in better spirits than Leeds, even after Leeds' dominance.

[Yosser 624]

That try took some scoring, brilliant

Comeback T for Saints by Percival in RH corner, great approach work by Walmsley and Quinlan. Walsh misses conversion, now 12-4.

Newbies watching on BBC, THIS is what you call Rugby

[Griff9of13 5,788]

Great try. Saints doing well to keep the score so close the way Leeds started the game.

[Crunchers Dad 102]

No Rucks, no mauls, no line outs just running, passing, tackling and TRYs

Great 1st half...saints fans will be relieved they've eventually clawed their way into this

Definitely relieved. Someone mentioned earlier asked how Saints finished 2nd. I think that first half showed why. Leeds were awesome and played at an electrifying pace. Saints weren't at their best but they were incredibly resilient and have hung in there scoring a belting try before half time. I am not sure we have it in the locker to win in the second half, but Saints and arguably Wigan are the only two sides in the competition who could have held Leeds to just 12pts in that first half.

[Futtocks 11,997]

For all Leeds' dominance, the scores are close, and St Helens certainly looked like they were getting back into the game even before their try.

 

Epic second half, please!

[bobbruce 2,097]

I expect Leeds will start well again Saints need to hang on for first 15minsw

[Old Frightful 5,532]

By eck, it's a bit Picky Park out there now.

[Futtocks 11,997]

Vea doesn't look look too healthy, and he's only just come back from injury.

Flippin' 'eck, Peacock!

[Loan Wolf 10]

Wow what a fantastic run, step & finish from Peacock under the posts - plus conversion 18-4.

[Griff9of13 5,788]

Brilliant try from Peacock! What a step.

[Futtocks 11,997]

Flippin' 'eck, Peacock!

Question: why the hell is he retiring when he can do that?
