The first 10 minutes : Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:32 pm  

I think we won this match then. Leeds heads went down when they could'nt score after so much possesion and after we had given up so much ball.

I think your discipline and composure were great but for me scoring just before half time was crucial for you and 2 scores behind was always gonna be tough.

Yea but 24 tackles in front of your oppositions line with no result is enough to batter all but the most hardened hearts. After that even the most talented player is asking the same question "How the Fook are we gonna get through this?"

I like what Potter has started to achieve with Saints defensive wise and tonight he has shown that it has not come at the expense of improvised attacking flare. My big question is can he utilize this and tailor it to every other team in the league?

Some of the defence on display in that opening period was outstanding and I agree I think keeping them out during that time did give the players a boost.

Going in at half time in front won us the game, I think scoring first helped too.

Our defence has been our biggest highlight all season, but last night the attack turned up also. We have dropped a lot of ball all season and we started the same in the first 10 minutes, then we got ourselves together.

Leon Pryce on the stroke of half time was the crucial point for me. That NO scrum bang on half time was the start of Leed's frustration also.

was a really gd game leon turned it on when we needed it. i dont know if anyone else was like me last night but when leeds got that last try i knew if they converted it it would put them top of table by 1 points difference if missed we would have been top lol
