I've been quite vocal in writing off Lance as a half back over the last year or so, but I have to say that was an absolutely stirling half back performance. MOM for me.

Where did that kicking game come from ?

His two best performances in a saints shirt have been Leeds at home.

I thought all was top class Today but I though Flanaghan, lomax and sia was a little bit special.

Hats off to Mose as well. Probably shouldn't be doing any more than 30 mins at this stage, but did more than double that because the team needed it. Awesome.

Cannot fault anyone. To have 9 first team players missing and to put that sort of performance in is incredible.

Leeds' defence was being talked about in the build up, but we showed how to defend tonight. Very impressive and they never looked like scoring in the second half, even during that sustained pressure.

Top class.

Soliola and Flanagan where massive tonight. Absolutely massive!

Flanagan surely did 60 plus tackles ?

Just re watched the highlights on sky. Cheered almost as loudly the second time tommy put that ball down!

Special mention to jones and greenwood. Both made half breaks in the last 5 minutes that meant we were in a position to go for the win. Big effort at the end of such a defensive performance.

Re: Ratings v Leeds : Sat Mar 29, 2014 1:19 am  

We won the short kick off too!

Re: Ratings v Leeds : Sat Mar 29, 2014 1:38 am  

Lance MOTM for me. His kicking game tonight was top draw.

Walker a 7. Give it up he was all over the place.

i wonder how his nose is thus morning?

Re: Ratings v Leeds : Sat Mar 29, 2014 7:56 am  

I'll stick by my ratings. 7 is a good score!

Remember the word objectively. It was a defensive and tactical kicking master class. Attacking wise we rightly kept it conservative until the 2 moments of class to enable Mako to score. The players with 8s/9s/10s did were more productive going forward.

The stats will be interesting - they will show we played much of the game on the back foot in terms of metres gained. Defensively they should be epic .

I am not knocking an amazing performance in the circumstances.

It was awesome
