If they play like tonight and we have Tony P back they could get hammered.

If we play like that with Tony P back, I reckon it might just be our season.

I reckon a couple of people need to hold back. Stirlingshire has it spot on. This is a great benchmark for how we can play, and where we are against Leeds. We showed that when they start niggling, we now have the ability to press on, and use it to our own gains.

There were also areas to improve upon. BUT, for the first time this season, I feel we have really gelled as a side.

The cup game, in my eyes, will have Leeds down as favourites. The trumppety mob will provide the same boost we did when it started getting tasty.

While this is obviously a very good win, I would not say demons have been exorcised in the slightest. We NEED to put in a performance like that against them if we meet them at Old Trafford. When we do that, I will be feeling as though the tables have turned, once again, in our favour.

We were better tonight no doubt, but Leeds have the individual danger we lack. They are ruthless and have much better strength in depth than us.

...and yet we won. Amazing.

i agree with most of what you say, but i think that it was the way saints played that led to the leeds errors, we where fast of the mark into the tackle. we got into thier faces and ruffled a few feathers, which they couldnt handle, and our attack seems to have gelled a little bit more. tony p back for the cc game to add more wieght to the pack, same game plan and fingers crossed, i think we will beat them again
