Reserve Game : Mon Apr 06, 2009 8:41 am  

Yesterday we went to the Leeds v Saints game and went in early to watch the Bradford game. Salford Res. were playing Leeds before that and we settled down to watch a superb game. Salford were at one point 18 to nil up on the opposition and deservedly so. They played well and dominated the match in the first half. During the second half they seemed to fall away slightly as Leeds tactics spoiled the game. It led to a two point defeat for your guys but on the day Salford were by far the better team. The Saints fans really got behind Salford to lift them as if we were watching our own side. At the end of the match It was nice to see our support was well recognised by your reserve team who all came over to the Saints fans behind the sticks and applauded us for our support. It was a nice gesture to see.

From where we were standing we could hear the Leeds players shouting and swearing to their teammates to get 'em hurt and to wrestle them over in the tackle. Wrestling isn't rugby it is another sport if you can call it that. They also were very guilty of holding down too long in the tackle and messing about at play the ball, skills they have no doubt learnt from the first team.

Well I just watched a normal game of rugby played in the correct way by two teams of kids. Leeds were down by about 18 points at half time and came out in the second half and dominated from then on, they took the lead late in the game, and after a short kick off from salford which only went 5 metres, which the referee never spotted a try was scored, which should not have stood. Fortunately Leeds then took the spoils with the last play of the game.
