Saints making Leeds look very ordinary. It's funny what a change of coach can do.

I blame the hair styles.

I always think a Leeds side without Mcguire never looks the same. Shifting Burrow into halves when he's been a revelation at hooker must be frustrating for them.

Leeds defence is shocking at moment for any SL side.

Saints were always going to be up for this one. A few months down line is when you can assess if a new coach was right move imo.

I actually do blame the hairstyles in part. Said to the Mrs I fancied Saints to win this. Partly because of a change of coach and hopefully spirit (and of course Roby being back), but also because with Leeds sporting their pink hair I didn't think their preparation or mindset would be as serious or focused as usual.

Saints playing well but Leeds are awful and have shown nothing so far. Great take by Gardner for the first try, he's always been good in the air. Bet Foster's crapping himself.

no player power at saints is there either!?

Eddie "watkins... he can score from nowhere."

Saints look well up for this. Glad we had them last week when they looked worst side in league

Sainst are fools.

These are meaningless games (as people on here will tell you) and they are using their allocation of good form up too early. They should have kept losing and playing rubbish until august time.

I like Stevo normally. I know he gets a lot of stick on here, unfair in many cases, but did he really just spend several minutes discussing why Leeds' performance is down to their hair?

Saints in again, could see 50 here.
What's the biggest score the defending champions have ever lost by?

Stevo sounds like he's fighting back the tears.

'Unprofessional' COMIC RELIEF

The joke's on Leeds

Shocking forward pass as well. What are the touch judges watching?

Have they put the clocks back 5 years in St. Helens?

Back to their brilliant best today, the bast*rds.

Didn't Wigan put 65 on Saints in 1997?

Much as don't like to agree with Stevo, he was spot on when he said the Saints team should take a look in the mirror. With their recent performances they've cost a good man his job.

[url=http://www.saints.org.uk/saints.org.uk/home/viewpage.php?page_id=7Leeds put 74 past us in 2001[/url. I doubt that will ever be beaten now.

EDIT: Although we do have a return fixture at their place to come so...

Perhaps you should be asking more why couldn't Simmons generate that kind of response? It is, after all, a huge part of what he was paid for.

So they have no responsibility then. After all, they get paid as well.

The thought that Leeds were distracted by having spent half an hour earlier in the week having their hair dyed for charity is classic Stevo buffoonery. Sometimes a team just isn't at the races and tonight was such a night for Leeds.

Neither of us said they didn't have a responsibility for it but ultimately if motivation is an issue then it's the coach's responsibility to address it. If a player isn't motivated it isn't always enough just to point the finger at them and ask them why they're not motivated. Sometimes getting motivated requires intervention and that's what the coach is there for.

Does that mean Mike Rush is some kind of seminal, supernatural [iuber coach[/i never seen in sporting history before?

Afterall he's only been in the hot seat a week and he produces the most motivated performance seen from a team all season. Saints played like men posessed.

Obviously whatever simmons has been doing so far this season, the saints players didn't think much to it.

Simmons leaves, rush comes in and says ''just go out there and express yourselves'' and saints let all their frustrtions of recent weeks out.

MIke Rush wasn't doing the motivating at training and pre match, Keiron Cunningham was.

If KC tells you to do something, you bloody well do it.

How do you know that this wasn't the same situation when simmons was in charge?

Maybe it's now the saints players decided they could be bothered, now they got what they wanted.

Keiron Purtill did the talking under Simmons.

That was Saints of old tonight. Roby outstanding.

I need help!
I've been looking for a sky rerun of this game but can't see it on sky again

anywhere. My sky box failed to record it today!!!
Does anyone know how I can get to see it?
