4 Sept: Super 8s - Leeds Rhinos v St Helens KO 8pm (TV)

[FlattenedbyWard]

Is Stevo barely hiding his one eyed support of the Rhinos tonight? Or has he mentioned Leeds still not being recovered from the Cup Final.....or fallen out with a fellow commentator?

[DavidM]

Leeds set up is pretty strange with sinfield at dummy half and McGuire as the sole half back , and lots of forwards linking in

[Padge]

Scrappy

[chuffer]

Fingertips again?

[chuffer]

Scorchio!!

[EastLondonMike]

The 'fingertip' try can't be given by a ref unless the video ref is there.. it happens far too quick. So we have a rule that can only be truly enforced with the presence of the video ref.

Have to admit im watching this game on a live stream online.. so pics wont be as clear.. ball didn't look on the line from what i saw of Achurch's try, but i'll take everyones word that it was.

[chuffer]

Knock on by Leeds?

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Painful looking wedgy for Carl Ablett then!

[DavidM]

Saints needed this and so most probably did the comp

[chuffer]

Well done saints, better team tonight, turned up with greater desire and intensity for this game. Leeds are human after all and looked a bit bruised and tired tonight

[CiderWire]

Great effort from Stains. Walmsley played a blinder, I love the way he actually runs his weight. Good game

[snapski]

Saints have suddenly started to play, going to be very dangerous now. Top 4 sorted really.

Go to admit, I really like the Giants, hope they win it, despite Ant.

[DavidM]

Walmsley has had a very strong and consistent season . Certainly one thing we are not going to be short of in the test squad is a shortage of quality prop options

[Gates1]

So all games now involving anyone but leeds and Wigan are pretty much dead rubber with 3 games to go. A well got plenty of Diy to crack on with!

[back to the future]

Still think Saints flatter to decieve

Leeds looked tired

[Saintslass]

What a difference having Jon Wilkin on the field has made to my team.  We have missed him more than most of us care to admit.  We actually looked almost cohesive tonight, with just a few brainfarts still to iron out.

 

I'm happy.  I'll take the win with open arms after the last four weeks.

no. Any games involving the top five are still games with something to play for.

[Gates1]

no. Any games involving the top five are still games with something to play for.

Not really, maybe top 4 jostling for position. Cas are now out of it in all reality. Bit of let down really considering the every minute matters slogan! Sure we all wanted a bit of drama in the closing weeks which will be minimal, shame really.

Still give more penalties away than any other

Pretty sure he averages 3-4 personally per game

[dadafrank]

Well after a bad month things are looking up.. Leedswill want to avoid Saints again

[dadafrank]

Wrong HA HA and LOL

[chuffer]

?

It seems like saints can only perform when written off and under no pressure...

they were the same last year and lost every big game that mattered....ultimately got lucky to end up with 2 trophies!

That's some going to lose every game that mattered and still end up with two trophies.
