49:41 – 10-8 Makinson kicks through, Bentham gives a drop out, and Roby pleads with him to go to the video ref, excellent try from Makinson.

57:09 – Gaskell kicks a 40-20.
58:09 – 14-8 Buderus gives away a penalty on the line, Foster kick the penalty
59:43 – 16-8 From the kick off Sinfield kicks it dead, Foster kicks the penalty from half way
60:49 – Saints kick deep, Bishop is returning the ball from his own 20m, Moore gives away a penalty.
61:16 – Shenton is injured and taken from the field.
62:46 – LMS and Moore offside, penalty to Leeds in their own 40m.
63:28 – 16-14 Dixon isn’t quick enough to slide out to Webb, who scores in the corner.
66:05 – James Graham is brought off, clearly not happy.
66:46 – 16-16 LMS rips the ball out on last tackle, penalty to leeds.
68:05 – Gaskell recovers the kick off for Saints but is slid into touch.
69:41 – 20-16 Burrow darts from acting half, Moore misses the tackle, and Burrow goes inside Lomax without him laying a hand on. Soliola infield after making 3 consecutive tackles. Meli takes the dummy, and Hall scores in the corner.
72:04 – Saints expecting the kick, and Leeds run it on the last from their own half. Webb breaks and forces a drop-out.
73:16 – 26-16 Lomax and Meli allow Ablett to score in the corner, Soliola was again at marker from making a tackle.
76:28 – Saints get a turnover on Leeds’ 40, Roby knocks on first tackle.
77:49 – Leeds kick downfield, forcing a scrum on Saints’ 20m, Lomax tries to offload, Lauititi picks up, but is held up over the line.
79:31 – 32-16 Gaskell tries to chip over Hardaker, who collects to go in unopposed from half way, game over
Couple of things to summarise, I though Gaskell was poor having watched it live, but he had a good go, things didn't come off for him, Lomax was non-existent, I can only hope he was injured.
We had 32 tackles on Leeds' line without scoring, not good enough for me.
Shenton's try should never have stood because Wheeler was offside from the kick.
Too many stupid penalties, LMS and Soliola ripping the ball out on the last is just about as bad as it gets for me.
I also think we're playing up the injury to Shenton too much, the fact is on Attack we were poor. Lomax and Meli should have tackled Ablett, Dixon should have tackled Webb.. Unfortunately year after year it's all shoulda, coulda, woulda..
COYS
And yes. I've too much time on my hands!!
