Sat 24th Sept: SLGF: St Helens v Leeds Rhinos KO 18:00 (Sky)

[dkw]

Myler absolutely cleaned out, somewhere Chris Hill had a chuckle...

[Davo5]

LMS starts with his usual rubbish in the tackle 

[EastLondonMike]

Panthers v Rabbits this morning shows you that things can change pretty quickly.

Leeds just need to stay patient and build pressure. And cut out the errors. Chances are they will score if they can do those few things.

Saints do look a cut above at the moment though.

[Industria ditat]

Leeds defensive line much too slow, just sitting back waiting for Saints to run at them

Blake Austin also looking up for this. Great 40.20

Peaked at that point, two garbage last tackle options.

[andyscoot]

Saints not happy that they've been tackled.

[Damien]

Yes Barrie out of that pick just a Saints man running in.

I'm not sure anyone would have run in if Welsby didn't.  He certainly instigated it and should be called our for it.

[dkw]

Myler with some qualitg mylering there...

[faithfulbyname]

Didn't look as bad in real time, slow mo looked much worse

[andyscoot]

Welsby with the high work rate but to he fair most of that was running in to kick off

Its why I don't like when the VR looks at things like that slowed down, it often looks a lot worse.

Panthers are pretty good though Mikey, Leeds...

[Mark S]

Welsby is a great player but he needs to sort his posture out, he has serious head forward.

[dkw]

Superb tackle by Lomax.

[Hemi4561]

50 years ago that would've been taught as perfect tackle technique. Martin not lomax.

[Dunbar]

Despite being on nil I want to give Leeds a bit of credit here.  The way Saints have played they would have blown some teams away in this first half.

It still is in the right situation. 

[Mark S]

Here comes the Leeds piggy back by the ref 

[dkw]

Awful last tackle by Leeds.

We can live in hope Tex.

I thought it was Saints who the ref favoured.  I just can't keep up with who the ref is helping these days.

[Davo5]

Leeds end of set plays are awful.

[EastLondonMike]

Leeds last tackle options close to the line have been pretty bad. Though Old Trafford pitch length does limit your short kicking options.

[Dave T]

Try!
