Shows that, all the bleating by Hudds and HKR, they're basically leading the "Next 6"

Third time's a charm at Old Trafford?

best game i have been to for a long time. a classic

That chicken wing tackle and Lee Smith's second shot on Gilmour are talking points....the rest are just frustration, heat of the moment stuff.

I would of said it was more Gilmour that struck first....Smith went a little high, then completed the tackle. Gilmour did his usual; throwing punches.

Smith's was a very agressive but fair tackle from what i saw, round the shoulder.

As for the 'chicken wing' i didnt see so i cannot really comment.

smith was high and followed it up with a swinging arm. didn't see the chicken wing either,not watched it on tv as yet.
both sides got away with a lot of grapple tackles though, thought bentham was his usual e

The first instance yes, no need to go in with a swinging arm when Gilly was on his knees.

And the chicken wing was from Mr T on Graham, early on....

two teams of thugs

aye, who only score of forward passes

Wouldn't be overly surprised to see JJB cop a ban for the chicken wing - camera replay doesn't look too good for him. Wouldn't expect it to be a long ban though - maybe enough to keep him out of the Salford game. Penalty counts against us have improved considerably in recent weeks, buit JJB really does need to work on his discipline!

Are you suggesting they won't ban him for the playoffs!? Honestly?

A bit too breakneck for my liking but was a good game..

honours pretty much even i thought. Leeds came out on top in every department

but only by a very narrow margin.

Thought Long made a few uncharacteristics errors myself, a couple of them which clearly gave the momentumn back to leeds at fairly crucial moments.

Don't think Saints will suffer a great deal from losing, but I think Leeds will gain some real belief from winning to take forward into the playoffs.

Tonight showed that we are still the best 2 sides in this league by a long way!!!!!

How many of our 14 did YOU think were forward the other week?

IMHO the initial "position" is purely accidental and if you watch the replay JJB clearly released the hold as he realises whats happening.

The real culprit is Graham who fakes injury and is a total BAD LOSER.

You won. Why the bitterness?

What a player. What a game he had. He just never stops. Leeds worked out early on he is the man to stop, never mind Long or Pryce.

He'd be in any first 17 in the world, no danger.

I'd love to have him at Headingley.

You work for the RFL panel and claim my £5

My sentiments exactly – we went to Newport the other week and watched Leeds demolish the Crusaders and by then end of the game I was feeling a little board.

Last night was why I love this game – it had everything and could have gone either way up to the last five minutes.

I'd love to have him at Leeds, but it will never happen. I get the impression that he hates leeds with a passion.

Agreed. Without St Helens bring in some re-inforcements up front he's going to have a tough time maintaining his impact though as the seasons pass.

Fielden used to be a very good prop at the same age.

Couldn't agree more. If more contests in Sl were like that we'd have a better chance against the Aussies.
