TBF he was one of their best players on the day - cracking tackle in the corner on Scotty 'we-thought-you-were-shi*e-but-now-youre-alrite' Donald to stop what looked like a certain break away score

The lad had some pace!

The BBC commentator described it as "the moment of the match" in what else was just a training exercise.

I think you could well be right. Leeds have NOT been really tested in the last few matches. We on the other hand have had some hard games with a depleted squad. We have now got a few players back our strongest line-up for a while and although not all are matchfit I think the game will be a lot closer than some people think.

Does anyone know the last day that a kids ticket can be swapped at Saints? Is it today or tomorrow?

It will be tomorrow mate.

I think they usually send them back, about midday the day before a game, but i'm not sure.

If its different from Rhinos I dont know... but I purchased a child swap at about 4pm day before Celtic away.

Ah shyt, forgot to swap my sons kiddie voucher... will see if the geeks on the whinos gates will let him in anyways, or lift him over the turnstyle like saints let us do.

Looking forward to this game. Injuries and poor form, whinos on fire and scoring tries like they score hookers in the off season... few ales and soem scran in Headingley afterwards... cant see this being bigger than a 71 - 0 myself.

Saints win, Leeds in the bin.

Mid day Wednesday

The Saints/Hudds match was the worst Saints performance I have seen in quite a few seasons.....you could have had Jesus Christ himself playing for you, and I reckon he would have given you up as a lost cause.

Friday will be even for the first 10 mins as club pride will carry you, then your current dip in form will kick in and the scorer will be going doo lally.

If Leeds don't put 40 plus points on the board I'll be surprised...... even with Mr Ganson as VR

3 stands at Headingley Carnegie are now sold out.. Carnegie, Southstand and Main seating Stand.
Just the West Terrace, which should be mainly you lot.

Good, I like there to be clear forks in the family trees around me.

It sounds like for once you think you have a chance!

Don't be daft.

I'm a Leeds fan and its no wonder other teams hate us with arrogant statements like that.

This will be a tough game for us,make no mistake and if anything because of their recent form I actually think Saints need to perform/win this game more than we do which makes them a very dangerous proposition

IMO I don't think this game will effect how we play in the playoffs.

Playoffs is knock out rugby which saints are pretty good at. I'd love us to beat Leeds again but a defeat only means we won't finish top, it don't mean our season is over.

I would have taken a top 2 finish before season started.

Totally agree with this!! Obviously from a Leeds point of view

I'll go for 38-16 to Leeds with them running away with it towards the end. It would be an amazing turnaround to get close to a result there after our recent form.

The key thing is Maurie playing and us building some momentum.

Whatever happens tonight I wouldn't read too much into it regarding the play-offs.

Leeds have yet to prove they are capable of beating Saints when their form is hot and if both teams eventually meet in the final the results of the last two years have shown us that anything can happen!

Tonight means nothing regarding the playoffs.

whether it be a leeds or saints win.

Are you surprised that we gave you a game then?

Must admit I was a wee bit surprised after your Hudds match, when the conversation here was not about how good a performance the Giants put up, but how disorganised Saints were. Not what we were expecting at all!

I thought Friday night was an excellent advert for the game....a really good old fashioned match, which in truth could have gone either way, and with the added bonus of probably the most annoying guy in RL getting put on his .

Graham's full time exit was also pure comedy, and I expect some enterprising chappie will make a small fortune by selling giant inflatable dummies before the return match.
