Round of frkkkin applause. Bailey changed the game. Graham almost cost them it. Nobody seems to be able to see that. Whilst Bailey was busy playing and Graham was busy shouting from 15 metres away we pulled back to within 6. When Graham's tantrum was over and he got back to doing what he does he was excellent. He needs, however, to stop acting as an enforcer because he's going to get hurt if he messes with the real big boys like Ryan.

Reminds me of Fielden back in the day, cracking, almost unstoppable go-forward prop but when he tried to play big boy games he generally got his bottom smacked.

Classic Ryan!

Graham almost cost Saints the game?! He was absolutely immense.

You might want to have a look at how many carries/metres/offloads/tackles Graham made last night in comparison to Bailey.

Burgess was your best player.

Classic Bailey indeed.

When he took that first drive after knocking out Fasavalu, running at Graham was a first class play. Graham was on full tilt and had he got there before the Saints defence intervened drawing a penalty was the minimum Leeds could have expected.

There was a good chance he could have provoked Graham enough to get him sent off.

Intelligent play, classic Bailey, just a shame that Bentham resorted to making up "swinging arms" and "tackling too rough" rules later in the game.

With respect, there aren't any Sculthorpes' knocking around the league these days (and I know his brother is technically a Sculthorpe but you know what I mean). Scully was a cheap shot machine, but he could back it up and often did. One of the greatest players of the modern era and genuine tough guy, but he's retired and you are just going to have to face life without a genuine hard man in your team.

I'm not debating the fact he got taken backwards. Just that he wasn't hiding from anyone, sunshine.

He was when he was stood out in the centres for most of the second half, taking the ball in 2 or 3 times in the entire remainder of the game

Yeah he was too busy laughing his socks off at Graham's Bronson impression.
