Even though Lui was targeted in defence by saints though.

First try wasnt a try an wouldnt have been if it went up as a no try.

The second was after 18 plays on the saints line after 3 repeat sets. You cant keep a team out forever in defence.

Leeds need to change half their pack and newman looked ordinary

Why was the first try not a try? 
 

Newman is a class player not sure it’s fair to judge him in a game where his side were well beaten.

we’ll see him kick on if he csn get some decent service from some sctual hslfbacks next year

Newman isn't ordinary, he is a quality player with the potential to be even better.

Swap him into that Saints side where the forwards laid the platform and their halves find space and quality service to the outside backs and he would have shone.

Kendall shouldn't be apologising to Roby for sending Matautia off; he should be sending the ###### Roby off too for moaning.

He’s captain he can moan all he wants.

You can guarantee that would normally get a ban, but this is saints and a grand final, not a chance he will get a ban.

Have you calmed down yet 7723, or is that incident still on your mind. Take a couple of zopiclone it might give you a few hours away from “Saints always get away with everything”

Not even that, no.

Have Leeds improved since Long joined them, will he be the next Leeds coach ?.

It’s Roby he can do what he wants. The try he scored was a cracker for a 78yr old. It’s not as if Sinfield never stopped yapping and moaning, it’s nothing new it’s always gone on.

they could not cope with Saints intensity and eventually the tiredness  of a disrupted season caught up with them.

 

Why would Leeds be any more tired than Saints ?

Leeds played 3 more league games than Saints in the year and Saints played 3 more cup games than Leeds. The only difference overall was Leeds didn't earn the right to have a week off before the SF eliminator and played 1 more knock-out game.

Leeds didn’t fork out £5k to have a nice break after the cup final.

No Leeds just had a nice rest in June instead so they didnt have to play us again ...

Why would they - Leeds didn't even make it past the 3rd round of the cup

its often about mental tiredness... physically their may not be much difference but when constantly under pressure and the intensity of Saints game that mental fatigue come's to the fore and impacts. 

As simple as that...

Looking at the Leeds squad for this season they have a lot of bog standard players. Next season i think they’ll be stronger.

Why Saints have signed Hurrell from Leeds though is puzzling, he’s bloody rubbish.
