We've been hearing about Leeds injuries all season and there is no doubt that they are low on bodies and yet, they keep clocking up the "W's". Yes, Saints should win but, it wont be 37-10 or anything like that.
McDermott is once again "limping" through the first half of the season and he (and Leeds) will have a fully fit squad when it matters.
THey can cope with the odd reverse and still be there or thereabouts when it matters.

They’ve played 4 games and won 3 with them wins coming against Warrington who are rubbish and they only had a couple out, Hull Kr and they were extremely poor with only a couple out, lost to Widnes convincingly and beat Hull by 4 points and Hull had more missing. In all 4 games they’ve been poor against weak sides and they need to improve massively. Tonight they’ve got even more missing so they should get beaten comfortably not that they definitely will.

How on earth was that a penalty against Taia?

Leeds did well to go in at 12 all at halftime. We haven't seen any stats from that half but I bet Saints have had at least 60% of the possession.

gotta respect the ball against Leeds. Remarkable it's 12 all. Saints set completion 50% Leeds 90%. If saints don't improve that Leeds win.

What the one where the player had to go off with concussion from his high tackle and is out for test if game. Is that the one your referring to.

Yes the very one. The one where said player fell awkwardly into Taia.

Concussion doesn't mean there must have been foul play.

Saints just not being patient enough in Leeds 20 and pushing passes that are not on and generally making a few careless errors.

Wow, that was a bit of a cock up in the Saints defence, the Saints players jumped but didn't seem to get near the ball, good kick from Myler mind.
Too many mistakes from Saints have really let Leeds into this game and they're on the front foot atm.

Great effort that from Saints in defence to keep Watkins out.

Awesome bit of skill from Moon that after such an awful pass. Got to give it to Leeds, they do know how to do it hard.

Like Saints of old that try. Leeds look on top and then saints go the length of the field.

That wasn't though.

Good game and considering who Leeds have got out an awesome win. just goes to show it doesn't matter who's on the team sheet, games are won by team spirit and effort.
