Can't really fault that effort. Losing Leon was the difference, we desperatly needed someone to organise the attack and he is that someone. Wilkin and Moore just aren't organisers.

Anyway, we've got a week off to rest the wounded....silver linings and all that

Fantastic effort from the lads can't fault em, all of Leeds eggs were in one basket, they wanted Wembley badly.
Be interesting to see how Saints go about the play-offs now.

Considering the guys you had missing against a pretty much full strength Leeds you did well. You badly missed an organiser and a decent kicker, but still did well despite not having either of your halves. Not many teams will cope that well after losing their 6 and 7.

Effing awesome effort clapping us out the car park. Awesome.

See you at Old Trafford.

After that little love in, the first one to troll gets a week off.

Shame that you guys lost, I wanted you to beat Leeds as their fans have turned into arrogant little so and so's over the last couple years, but can't complain about a Saints loss either.

If Saints would of had a full strength team out they would of blown Leeds away.The way some are talking on the Rhinos board you'd have thought they were brilliant today.Wigan Saints grand final I reckon, the two best teams in the competition.

to push the current superleague champions all the way without any halfbacks is quite frankly amazing! Well done lads, done us proud!

A quick look on the Leeds board gave me a good laugh. 'How good are we?'

Erm not as good as you think you are considering that was a pretty much full strength team. I have no doubt if Saints had Eastmond and Pryce, they would have won.

Today showed me that no matter what Saints will keep going and that I am not concerned one bit about facing Leeds again. Far more wary of Saints and Wire.

That was my thread and was in relation to Rob Burrow.

Wasn't arrogance, read it you berk.

You write leeds off. Good.

All i ever read these days from saints and wigan fans ''we are more afraid of x, we aint scared of, we want to play you, we aint scared, wire are better, ad infinitum''. Me thinks you protest too much.

You can say what you like, but the fact is we've beaten both saints and wigan to get to the cc final. We've ebaten wire twice this season and have ebaten saints in the last 3 grand finals.

If anyone has nothing and no one to fear, it's leeds.

Thought you were outstanding considering the players you had missing- very unlucky.

Things are quite interesting at the top as recent results have shown that
wire beat wigan, wigan beat leeds, leeds beat saints, and saints beat wire.
All those games have been won with a winning margin of 2 points apart from
wigan v leeds.

This year's playoffs could be the closest for a few years.

Some of our long range tries were out of the top drawer equal to anything the aints or Wigan have produced...the difference this year is we also play some really dumb rugby at times which allowed you to score of the errors and penalties.

Thought on balance we just deserved to win and the final score reflected the game.

Never said it was arrogance, I said it made me laugh



The way some of you delusional Leeds fans are taking about your team lately is quite entertaining

I actually thought the difference was the Saints players turning their backs to the play in the second half when running back to the line. Even Graham did it when Leeds scored. You can't use Leon's injury as an excuse for that!

Not wrote them off and Im fully aware they can play some good rugby, but from what ive seen lately, they really dont worry me. Im not that impressed with them like some Leeds fans are. I'll be very confident if we face you again.

I'm pleased that you won't be stressed about it. Easy win v Leeds, nothing to worry about.

The fact that when they HAVE to, Leeds know how to win doesn't come into it

Wigan by plenty. In fact, I still think they might win the Challenge Cup!

Never said an easy win (now your just making stuff up), just that im really not that concerned about you and wont be worrying if we have to play you again. Does it bother you that much, or to make you feel better should I lie and tell you how scared I an of Leeds???

They should be proud of the effort and hard work today, I think we got into the postion to win the game which makes it harder to take.

Leeds quick play the balls killed us and we found it hard to deal with there pace.

I couldn't believe the amount of time we had our back to Leeds when trying to get back into our defensive line, graham was defending with his back to Leeds all 2nd half and one time cost us a important try.

And what about the way delusional wigan fans are talking about their team?

no major trophy in 8 years and no final in 6 and the way you are waxing lyrical is entertaining.

and you know what? i think you may just end the season trophyless. (please don't tell me you'll be counting the hubcap as a major trophy

)

Top of the league, I think we can talk our team up, regardless of how long its been since we won a trophy. Hey, if you dont think we'll win anything or aint scared of facing us, it really doesnt bother me. I dont really care what you think of us, as I know how good we have been and table speaks for itself on that one.

And you what I think you'll end the season without a trophy, so the league leaders might not be that much, but I reackon its more than what you'll get. Just my opinion, so dont get upset like your fellow Leeds fans

Fair doos.

For what it's worth I predict a valiant grand final defeat for you guys.

You are a very very good, well drilled team but i just sense you lack a certain je nes se qua, i don't know, can't put my finger on it.

Reckon you'll lose to saints by no more than 4 points.

saints would have won by 2 or 3 scores today with eastmond and pryce.

If you're not concerned about Leeds (who have a fair bit of previous in how to win when it's actually important), then who are you concerned about?

presumably warrington (who leeds have beaten twice) and saints (2 from 3 for leeds).

Wire and Saints. Anyway, get over it, im not scared of Leeds, your not scared of us. END OF DISCUSSION...

Anyway well done Saints, and as ive said before not many teams would have coped that well with their 6 and 7.
