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

[Gerrumonside ref]

Breathless rugby - cracking game

[Damien]

I think this game is so similar to the Saints v Salford game last week. Saints flying but Salford hung in there and Leeds are doing the same this week.

[RSN]

This game has been absolutely superb. Nothing else to comment. 

[Man of Kent]

Game needed that. Typical Leeds to hang on in there in the big occasion. 

[andyscoot]

Breathes a bit of life for the second half

[Futtocks]

Leeming looks happy.

[Davo5]

Great finish from Leeming.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Game on in the second half.

Fair play to Leeds, they’ve had to hang tough under pressure.

Now they’ve got their reward.

[Mr Frisky]

Game on

[Dunbar]

What an absolutely outstanding half of rugby.

I am huge fan of the NRL but this game is blowing away the two NRL semi's this weekend.

Sky are desperate for a Leeds win

[Tex Evans Thigh]

Leeds were in danger of getting blown away about 20 minutes in but they've done a grand final shift there and given themselves a chance. Great effort.

[dkw]

That was a bloody marvellous half of Rugby.

[JDR]

Anyone know if Oledski is off injured?

Isn't everybody apart from Saints fans?

[Spidey]

Game has started like Leeds’ season.  Pretty poor at the start now gaining momentum. Hope that continues into second half

I hope not. I think he’s top quality and would love him at Saints.

[dkw]

On that Leeds try, isn't there some rule about coming back on the pitch after stepping off it? Though disallowing that try for it would have been ridiculously harsh obviously. I just remember some rule but not what it is.

[RugbyBaller]

Well that was definitely the quickest 40 minutes ever........... could have sworn they only kicked off  10 minutes ago

They are not alone. There are millions of us with the same desire.

Execactly what we needed at exactly the right time, first 10 minutes of the 2nd half are going to be immense.

Meh.

If you like high octane, skilful drama mixed with controversy and a contest whose result remains in doubt then I guess so.

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

Yes. They don't seem to have a plan.
