Sun 9 Aug: SL: Leeds Rhinos v St Helens KO 6.30pm (Sky Sports)

Are Luke Gale's hands electronically connected to opponents' heads?

[Gerrumonside ref]

What a run!

[DavidM]

Wow , but that non chase was absolutely pathetic . A few decided to have a light jog towards the ball

[Padge]

Leeds may have well have just pointed "its that way".

[meast]

Regan Grace

[Gerrumonside ref]

Demolished

[Futtocks]

A great sight, when he's unleashed into space.

[Hughsehhh]

Sexy try by Grace, length of the field, beats a few players for footwork, the rest for pace

[MZH]

I mean that's a good try from Grace, but what a pathetic chase from Leeds. They've given up.

[bobbruce]

Brilliant try from Grace and a great argument for why fatigue should be brought back into the game. 

[Chrispmartha]

It’s our new tactic of giving the opposition a healthy lead lulling them into a false sense of security.

 

I don’t know if Saints have been that good as Leeds have been so poor, penalty count must be ridiculously lobsided

[Dunbar]

Leeds just looked badly coached. Their half backs are running laterally and not squaring up the defence so Saints can simply drift in defence without any danger.

The execution is poor but then Leeds don't look motivated on the effort plays... kick chase etc. Not a good combination. 

[Hela Wigmen]

We’re absolutely beating Leeds up right through the middle of the pitch. It’s all too easy. The biggest threat we’ve faced from Leeds is the numerous high tackles on Saints players. 

Some try by Grace, that. The initial chase by Leeds was pathetic but the way he beat two players was excellent. 

[Moove]

The set before that Grace try half the Leeds players where stroling back hand on head, they look cream crackered. No chance of catching Grace.

Got a bit scrappy at times with dropped ball and penalties. Couldn't have asked for more than a 24 point lead at half time though,  take some stopping when we're winning the forward battle like this.

Can’t believe they let that bloke in the crowd come in with his dog 

It's the proverbial one man and his dog crowd, either that or it's a horny Huddersfield town fan

[dkw]

Good penalty, about time referees start penalising that more. 

[Wellsy4HullFC]

This could at least give me something to smile about this weekend.

Doubt they'll hit 50, but at least it won't be just us that got spanked.

(Cue a Leeds comeback like last week when I said they were getting stuffed!) 

[Old Frightful]

Worra joke penalty that was.

Leeds defender holding Bentley down so his mates can get back in defence and Bentley gets penalised?

Jeez.

[DavidM]

Stop the dumb errors , stop the dumb penalties ... stop the dumb coaching 

[DavidM]

Please tell me he didn’t just kick that away on tackle zero ?

[Padge]

I'll use the free play, what have Leeds been doing during lockdown watching old recordings of how they played when they were decent.

 

[Padge]

Leeds have cut out the dumb stuff mentioned at half time, they have now decided to throw dumb passes instead.

[Hughsehhh]

Leeds are deliberately slowing every play the ball. Cmon ref, do something about it, it's killing the game as a spectacle

[Futtocks]

Looks like Grace has broken his drought in some style.

[Hela Wigmen]

Not sure which Grace try was better. Sublime.
