The attacking player went backwards. He wasn't running backwards. His momentum didn't do that at all. 

Repeat, physics. 

[Dave T]

Have Saints taken a few players off?

Only 3 forward passes....

Only 2 to be fair…

It's almost as if RL is played in some if the poorest parts of the country and there's some kind of cost of living crisis...

And a delayed World Cup held in many of the same areas with club fans getting a weeks notice.

Can anyone update how long is left? Radio 5 Live aren't great on this aspect.

[Dunbar]

This has been compelling.  I can't believe how quickly the 76 minutes has gone.

I simply haven't had a chance to count the empty seats.

[bratman]

###### kick from Myler.

[Futtocks]

Roby once again teleports to exactly where he's needed.

I had to stop and start again as  a woman wearing all red fooled me 

[Futtocks]

Forget naming MotM - try naming a St Helens player who hasn't been excellent this evening!

[Dave T]

Leeds have been tough, dogged. Saints have been the far better team. But like last week vs Salford they haven't been able to blow the opposition away. 

But they've done what they needed and are well deserved champions. 

[GeordieSaint]

LOMAX!!! MOM. Superb.

[bratman]

60k I think I heard

[faithfulbyname]

Brilliant game,  well done Saints

[gingerjon]

Thoroughly deserved.

Well played Saints.

The Saints trainer getting in the linesmans way was ridiculous there

He's a cheating ###### that fella. When Salford had Saints under the pump last week, him and his sidekick water carrier came onto the pitch, threw a couple of water bottles on the pitch about 10 yards away from where they were treating an "injured" player and then wasted another 10 seconds or so to allow Saints to regroup while they went and collected said water bottles that were serving no other purpose than to halt the game.

Another one of Saints "clever" gamesmanship ploys.

 

[DavidM]

Saints deserved but Leeds can be proud of their performance and how they’ve stuck in 

[dkw]

Excellent final, Saints were superb and definitely deserved the win but Leeds battle is incredible.

Amateur.

This is what Sky Record is for.

[GeordieSaint]

Superb. Simply superb. An absolutely amazing team. 

[Hvy wg]

Imagine that team plus Lewis Dodds...

[andyscoot]

Congratulations Saints, clearly the better team all season.

Mention for Leeds too to get to that final aswell.

[Chrispmartha]

Well its 4-1 to leeds

 

in all seriousness Saints were clearly the better side, we didn’t take our chances saints did.

but from where we were a few months ago that’s a great effort from us
