Fri 10 Sept: SL: St Helens v Leeds Rhinos KO 19:45 (TV)

[GUBRATS]

Both sides rubbish , Leeds completely rubbish , Saints just rubbish 

[sweaty craiq]

Shocking atmosphere, is it being played in a morgue? Have Leeds taken any fans

[JohnM]

Not much happening in Leigh tonight, I see.

[GeordieSaint]

Jeez. Percival is going to be sore in the morning.

Nice kick by Dodd. Looks to have everything. How long before he gets an England cap?

Dunno. When do England play next?

[HullWire]

I wish Walmsley would get involved

Leeds are a poor championship side at best, the comp only has 2 decent sides

Oh give over

 

Lots of sour grapes from Leigh fans it seems because they’re going back down

Good tackling there by Leeds

[Padge]

Wolfe's days will be numbered if he can only come up with a plan of "give it to the big lad". Saints supporters will not like not being able to crow about being "the entertainers".

What a dull depressing game, and I am normally upbeat about any game.

Yes, I’ve noticed you normally love nothing more than a convincing Saints win

But they didn't need to do anything better tonight , if Leeds don't want to tackle , why bother passing 

[Saint 1]

Think as much as anything, Woolf will be pleased with some of the scramble in D. The chase in the last minute of the game sums it up.

I may do the rival thing about giving Saints some stick, but I do appreciatte a good contest and entertainment. That was just two school teams playing with one having the big lad.

It was awful.

It was poor but not unexpected woth the lineup we had

One positive- was good to see johnson back

Because they ( the supporters )crow about being "the entertainers", they had the opportunity to entertain and Wolfe decided it was lets play like school kids and give it to the big lad.

I agree it was a poor watch that was over as a contest in about five minutes but there was only one school team.

Which was entirely the correct tactic with looking at the lineups

Saints played school team tactics once they realised they were playing a school time.

[Dunbar]

Bit disingenuous to talk about a wonderful performance from Walmsley as if its somehow reflective of how lacking in entertainment Saints were.

A terrific display from a world class player.

It wasn't your kids who weren't tackling

You miss the point, I am not talking about tactics and how to win a game in a close fought contest. I am talking about Saints supporters who have lived on the back of wide to west for years and claiming to be the entertainers dishing up that garbage when they were in a position to entertain.

Woolf will be a dead duck soon when more Saints supporters start voting with their feet about what they are serving up.

Does make a bit of a mockery of the league table, to be fair. Leeds are bang average at the best of times but they look way off a playoff side tonight.

Not really, Leeds have simply run out of troops, we’ve troubled both the top 2 this year and beaten 3rd and 4th place teams. It can happen when ayers are expected to play a congested fixture list

And I think you’re missing the point. Saints wanted to claim that 2nd spot, do you think their supporters will give two hoots how they win tonight if they win the GF
