Whilst the "You're our Grand Final Bitches" chat was funny, why wasnt there one for Ade Gardner "Are you Meli in disguise!!" Good also to see Silverwood early on telling Gidley to put his dummy back in his mouth and get on with the game. Why someone with talent has to start the Association Football antics on a Rugby League field is beyond me.

We lost by 4. You couldn't trounce us even when we lost both our playmakers and one of our forwards and had no interchanges for the last 20 minutes. As your coach said, you are going to have to improve quite a bit before you are capable of winning the grand final.

Your purple patches followed directly after we lost each of our playmakers. You were lucky that the remains of our team were pretty damn clueless when it came to last tackle options.

Ok, you're struggling. I can see that. Let me try and help you catch up.

The Saints poster said that Pryce was always heavily involved. I suggested he wasn't. I pointed out three big games where pryce was not heavily involved. I did not say those games had any bearing on Saturday's game.

Hopefully, I have simplified matters sufficiently enough for you.

No. Our purple patches happend whilst our number one hooker was on the pitch. Your purple patches happend whilst he was off the pitch.

IMO you would never have been in front again had he stayed on the pitch.

That said, as I have said previously, I still think Pryce was the best individual player on the park, but that doesn't mean to say he would have had the freedom had Buderus been on. You may IMO have actually scored more points at the time Buderus was off had Pryce not got injured. But that is all ifs and buts.

Dont understand why Saints fans try and Convince Leeds fans to rate Leon Pryce. As we think exactly the same about Danny Mcguire. His 2 try's (Walk ins) apart on saturday he once again proved that he cannot kick or guide a team around the pitch. He was also caught out of possition in defence a number of times and if it wasent for Wellens dropping a simple catch, we'd have scored a simple try to extend our lead,

One thing is for sure. Leeds would well and truely be knackered without Kevin Sinfield.

Yes you did, but, as usual, you have a myriad of excuses for it.

Where our players whooping excessively?

Don't remember Mcguire walking away with the GF "Hide 'N' Seek" trophy in 07.08 and 09!

Do you not bore yourself with that drivel ?

What's drivel about it?
Mcguire played a key role in the last 3 GF's resulting in us winning the biggest game of that respective season.
Whereas Pryce went missing did absolutely fook all and trudged off with his "runners up" medallion.
This is all fact and if you watch the games you'll see it for yourself if you take those poxy Phil clarke "Saints are world class" specs off.

Was this the same Phil Clarke that said on Saturday, "I know there is still 70 odd minutes to go, but Saints will win this because they have better passers", then 10 minutes later they were 16-6 down.

Aye the very same who was also close to tears after the 08 GF defeat!

I don't know why you bother either, we know he's got talent but, he's an enigma. To the best of my knowledge, he has never stepped up when his team are on the back foot and taken them forward. "Flat track bully" was a phrased often used in these parts, it applies to Pryce perfectly.

Here's another thing for sure, even on the assumption that somebody else would have been there for the two, as you put it, "walk ins", we would have lost the game without McGuire. He created the opening for his own second try and passed to Hall for our fourth.

The defensive lapses you refer to were as much the fault of Senior as they were McGuire but, don't let that stop you talking e.

I assume the "scout" your user name refers to is the short trouser and gle variety?

Typical victim mentality here from the scousers.

Really? It was 2 on 2 wasnt it?

Always the victims aren't they. Victimpool is very apt.

He topped that later on in the match (after the Lomax try iirc??) by coming probably as close as he ever has to having an orgasm during a Saints match (which is saying something given previous pro-Saints rants!) with his whole "sometimes 4 points isn't enough to reward a try of that class" spiel, finishing it off with something along the lines of "I absolutely LOVE it when Saints throw the ball out wide!!!"

Because, you see, no other team ever throws the ball around and scores tries from such endeavours. Just Saints. Obviously.

Tool!

If that's the case we could argue had smith thrown a decent pass we'd have scored a simple try with a run to the corner for Donald

On the subject of Clarke by the way, I'm sure this will no doubt have been discussed on here previosuly, but if it has I missed it..... I've never understood why he loves Saints so much. His Dad played for Wigan, he played for Wigan. Historically, most if not all people associated with Wigan tend not to like Saints too much, and vice versa. So why the love for Saints?

I enjoy Thursday night RL, and a lot is down to the refreshing commentary team compared to Waldorf Stevo, Eddie Stadler & their Scouse loving muppet side kick Clarke I had to endure on Saturday.

Yes we won by 4 but we won 12-0 during that 20 minute period that you are attempting to put us down for. Put that 12-0 scoreline over an 80 minute game and you get a trouncing. As has been posted your purple patches came after our number one hooker left the field of play.

You lost, deal with it. It means little in the long run.

Jealous?

Phil-babes was right. We had the greater skill and it is a joy to behold when we throw the ball around. Especially when we drop it, which we have enjoyed doing quite a bit this season.

Best team won - what is so hard to understand about that?

I dont think the best team won. Even with shatterd bodies out there Leeds looked poor. If only Scott Moore could tackle.

But hey it doesent matter what opinions people have. Leeds are super and every man in their squad is awesome because they've won it 3 times in a row. Wow! Quality.

Bore off.
