Thought they won off the back of two Long penalties myself, the first one being very daft, and him kicking out on the full.

He made a few key errors tonight that cost us, but he still needs to get back into the swing of things after being out a while.

Cup semi?

Semi finals matter...

We was unlucky not to win tonight... a fantastic performance against a team that have been scoring for fun these last few weeks ... keep the faith, I have a feeling its our turn to peak at the right time

It's a little too late for this season? Are you serious?

I agree with you that longys form will play huge bearing on how we finish this season.

Tonight though I thought he was shocking! His passes was all over the place and his kicking game was poor.

To be fair though he been out for while and playing with 1 eye so it's another run out before the playoffs.

I wouldn't say we was unlucky not to win because we was poor in attack and didn't really look like getting over Leeds line.

It was a big improvement on recent weeks though.

I seriously hope most of these posts are tongue in cheek... I am about to laugh myself to sleep off the back of them

We was FANTASTIC tonight. I was so down all week thinking our season was over. Now i cant wait untill next week. It's amazing what 2 props can do to your team.

We was in that game right to the end at Headingley infront of a massive crowd.

The likes of Faasavalu will have improved there fitness. Welldone lads.

I would say fantastic all round. D yes, but not in attack. We still had no fluency and none of the solidity those same players had under Anderson and earlier in the year under Potter.

Imagine if we had 3! Is there any chance cayless will play for us again?

On the flip side. Leeds where shi*e in attack too! They had more ball than us with the penalties they recieved. For me we looked dangerous when we enterd there half. We made huge strides in there defence with our props.

I don't think we looked danerous with ball all night. Maybe the odd time but I think with ball in hand we was very poor again.

I thought the forwards played a lot better than over last few months which is prob down to having a good bench for 1st time in a while.

If last nights game is anything to go by I don't think we our that far off clicking.

If the attack clicks then we will defo be there or there abouts.

I would say very good rather than fantastic but otherwise I would agree with you. There's still something not right with our attack. I thought Longy did ok (with the exception of a couple of brain farts). His kick back up field in the second half when Leeds played that cynical kick out of play was a good sign: showed someone was thinking creatively for a change. We desperately need that creativity to return.

Thought we were OK moving out of our 20 metres into Leeds 20 metres, it was the plays near Leeds line which were too predictable. You could probably have said the same when Leeds were attacking our line.
Cutting down the errors and completing sets should put us back in some sort of form for the play offs.

drop Long and we may improve even more.

I think between Leeds and Saints though there is always going to be an element of predictability. The two teams know each other very well.

Great improvement against Leeds.........We will improve, and Leeds wont....If you take away the try from a forward pass and the ball steal against Eastmond the result would have been different........

I agree he's shocking he got us too top 2 and cup semi by just praying at St.Lukes

Here, here, moral victory tonight and a 1000% improvement on the Huddersfield games.

It wasn't really an 8 point ball game. I never believed we would win on Friday and all I was hoping for was a performance. It's exactly what we got, Graham and co put pride back in the shirt, KC had a blinder too.

No.

4th round of the cup this year, that was a big game.
The last 2 play off games at Knowsley Road.

You keep praying for that to happen!!
There's plenty of more to come from both teams and it showed that they are still the best 2 teams in this league!!!
As for another meeting between the 2 BRING IT ON!!

If my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

You were light years away from how badly you played against Huddersfield. I think mistakes at crucial times cost you. Longy dropping the ball in our 20 late on was an important one for me.

I thought we did well going forward for the most part - we gained good field position more often than not with good speed out of the ruck. The problem was (and has been for most of the season) the set moves when in good field position. Nothing seemed to be organised, not enough people were running lines off the ball and we generally didn't look dangerous at all when attacking the line. Some credit should go to Leeds for that but I thought we were in position enough times to put a lot more points on the board.

Improvement needed, and we have improved a lot defensively going off Friday so I hope we can do similar in the next couple of weeks.

The attack and kicking game is the main problem. I'm hoping now we have a settled side, we'll improve in that area. You just wonder if we've got enough games to find fluidity. We'll be there or thereabouts though, with defence like ours we're not the type of side to suffer a heavy defeat.
