Turned it off after a hour..utter bilge..as is the game itself....

Thought Leeds would have been up for this game, but they were very poor and showed no creativity at all.

Saints at a canter, but not that impressed with them either.

Sticking it on the red button with terrible camerawork and boring/innacurate commentary (so many wrong names). The contempt the BBC have for the game is obvious, so why do they cling on to it rather than let it go to someone who gives a stuff eg Channel 4?

Anyone else disappointed with Leeds this season? Splashing the cash on Croft and Ackers who are high quality players and 2 positions they were lacking previously. But i just haven't seen anything from them yet. Frawley is also anonymous..

Leeds played well for 20 minutes in the League game v. Saints but otherwise it has been all Saints. Last nights game was very one sided. Leeds are not looking that good. Croft & Ackers can't make up for the lack of forward power.

Leeds seem like they're getting worse

Personally I just don't get the hype about Rohan Smith as a coach. Pundits seem to rate him as a genius, but I'm pretty sure if he was at a smaller club than Leeds he wouldn't be getting all these raps.

The Leeds try was a piece of opportunism.
Other than that they didn't offer much. Quite boring.
Saints dominated in the forwards - strange - and seemed to march down the centre of the field at will. Oldeski, Holroyd and Lisone are better than that.
Croft was ok in the 2nd half. At least Frawley tried to be involved for the whole match.
Miller is nothing special from what I've seen either.
Whilst I give Saints credit for suffocating Leeds, if I was a Leeds fan I'd be very disappointed in that performance.

He has been under pressure before at Leeds & if things don't improve this season I can see him being on his way. They seem to have signed/sacked so many players since he's been i/c.

Leeds are the Man Utd of RL. Flushed with success and a golden era of players that will just never be reached again. Now they're stuck in an endless cycle of signings and coaches to try and find the magic formula but in the meantime they just plunge into mediocrity. Looked at their board, one guy asked what does Oledski actually bring, and I've been wondering the same for years, Sky give him plaudits but I never really see him change a game or make that much of a difference. Their new halfback looks like Blake Austin did most of the time at Leeds - anonymous, pedestrian. Croft is trying, but it's hard when you're the only one out of a pair. Miller gave it a good go in last week's first half but you get the impression it won't happen for him week in, week out.
