What a try!

[Gerrumonside ref]

It’s going to be difficult to talk down that one!

[meast]

Regan Grace again!

[Hela Wigmen]

Superb. What a try. 

[Just Browny]

Richard Agar has really put his stamp on this Leeds team.

Won't stop some people trying.

Great work by Grace - a hat-trick to remember.

[meast]

Grace again!! Chuffing Nora!

Leeds fevrovers are a shambles though

[Moove]

Can't be too many better hattricks

[Hughsehhh]

That Saint Fan TV they cut to after each try is tragic. A 4 split screen and one screen is blank. 

[dkw]

Sutcliffe must feel like he's been run over by a truck. 

[bobbruce]

Why has he been given that back it’s a clear knock on. This isn’t under11s where the ref has to keep a team in it.

He created the space himself for that one, the acrobatics was brilliant, the other one was an open door by pathetic defence but still needed scoring.

[Moove]

Lazy from Walmsley then, should have gone himself

[Gerrumonside ref]

Surely some of these Leeds cardboard cutouts are wanting to do the Wigan walk by now?

Demolition job by Saints.

[LeytherRob]

Saints putting on a masterclass here.

You mean the ones on the pitch right?

They are probably hanging round because they might get a game next week. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

I know people will say that you have to peak around playoff time, but Saints were very impressive and just brushed aside Leeds.

I bet Handley was glad Fages got there.

He is auditioning for a return to the Hull FC job 

[Hela Wigmen]

To play with such an unwavering level of intensity for 80 minutes, both with the ball and without it, especially in the second half when the game was beyond doubt, two weeks after a five month layoff takes some doing. Defensively we were mean in that second half and superb at defending our line.

Leeds were bullied and we ran over the top of them. It was men against children throughout and I can’t remember seeing a side score so many tries through the middle of the pitch as we have tonight. 
 

[Futtocks]

Only a couple of games for them since lockdown. Saints will shake off the rust soon.

Gulp.

Saints to quick all around the park for Leeds, and they won't have the naivety that Huddersfield displayed in the last quater. Saints comfortable winners for mine.

Saints were nothing special prior to lock down and OK Catalan are rubbish, but in those two games played Saints look the much better all round team, and to strong for your lot.

Having watched other sports returns from lockdowns, I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt to it being cobwebs dusted off and six again exacerbating those problems.

We were playing very well before lockdown (bar again the opener) and a return to that would see us well I think. 

Will have to see.

Nothing much else to add

Well that was dreadful, we really missed the players out injured.
