Saints are stuck in first gear and Leeds are being Leeds.

How does Frawley get a game? Even in this poor Leeds team? 

[DoubleD]

I’m amazed there was no comment about Roberts doing that hip drop tackle on Batchelor, which injured him. He should’ve seen 10 in the bin. The NRL are really hot on this atm

[Damien]

Aw Wilkn crying yet again because something went against Saints

There was a chicken wing as well that seemed to get missed.

I don’t think he should be a pundit when Saints are playing, it’s excruciating. I have to change the channel to literally anything else. 

[Padge]

Not so subtle accusation of cheating the replacement law by the Sky team there.

Thought there have been a couple of tackles in that half that would have pinged for hip drops in the NRL.

Well to be fair Russell limped off after treatment on his knee and it’s then announced he’s failed a hia? You could call it being cute, but cheating would seem more appropriate 

[Gerrumonside ref]

This isn’t a great standard.

That’ll do, big offload.

[Phil]

Appalling discipline, six again on last tackle leads to a try 

[Padge]

I can see Leeds getting tonked in the last 20 of this game

Solid contribution.  Thanks.

[tiffers]

Far too many errors from Leeds. Combined with the passive defence invites pressure...

[Gerrumonside ref]

Some take by Welsby then!  Wow.

Or maybe sooner.

[bratman]

Brilliant from Welsby

[Moose]

Like taking candy from a baby

[Gerrumonside ref]

Decent response from Leeds here if it counts 

it does.

Clear try. Good finish from Roberts.

Still no expectation at all of Leeds making a fist of this. There's just too many errors and the only reason they got the field position was because saints gifted it.

[Gerrumonside ref]

And if it wasn’t done as a contest it is now.
