Anyway. I just hope that there's some shred of positive news on harrys prognosis (and Gannon). Though I've not much hope.

Have to say I thought Olpherts had a much better game tonight too.
If Holroyd and Oledski are fit for next week then Tetavano and Bentley in for McDonnell and Gannon.
Martin to centre and Sinfield in the halves probably with Myler and Hooley to FB. Sorted.

Quality wasn’t there but great to see an old fashioned Leeds v Saints belter like that again, didn’t see that coming.

Rohan Smith needs these kinds of games to make his mind up on a few players. I won’t bag anyone tonight because we ran blood to water.

Not sure about Newman looked like side impact to knee so I thought ligament damage but… hopefully it’s not as bad as it looked.

Well done lads.

Can't underestimate the positive impact on the togetherness and belief that show of guts will have had too.

Did McDonnell actually throw a punch? They only showed one replay and it wasn't conclusive.

So having missed the game live and now just finished watching it back, that’s a massive moral victory for Leeds. So many injuries before and during the game and we got pipped with 26 seconds to go, huge effort.

Well done Leeds Rhinos, you should be proud tonight.

Looked like hammy to me again unfortunately.. They've all occurred in similar situations with the tackler on the lower legs and extending the leg trying to win the floor rather than in broken field running.

Proud of the boys' efforts tonight. Saints misfiring badly, had we dodged the injuries we likely beat them with a bit to spare. Need to rewatch sangare's near miss, couldn't see owt wrong with it.

neither could the video ref, but he disallowed it anyway
odd that they didnt even show the clearer angle until it had already been disallowed?

Think they'll keep Sinfield out of the firing line a bit longer after his exams and concussion. Keep Johnson there probably with myler.

Johnson got good minutes and showed some nice touches. He should continue in the 17 IMO. O'Connor is starting to run more from dummy half too, and is making steady progress

Yeah agree mate.

Not sure whether I’d play Johnson at 9 and then O’Connor to 13 and Smith to 6…. Or O’Connor 7 and Myler 6. Really don’t like Myler in the halves too many memories of the Furner / Agar years.

Might be time to bring Hooley in at FB.

We can still put a decent side out next week.

Thought Johnson looked handy at 7

A great effort in the circumstances. Every player gave it there best shot effort wise and no one can question the togetherness of the team. Not attempting a drop goal when we had 12 tackles in there 20 with 5 minutes of normal time to go beggared belief. I like Myler at fullback but he is terrible at organising the side from halfback.

Played there quite a bit at York didn’t he?

It’s the distribution he gives which I think adds most value.

Is Tet back next week we could really do with him?

Tet and Bentley should be back

I just don't think we had a player with the ability to pot kick a drop goal on the field at the point, and arguably from the moment Sezer went off. It's just not, and never has been, in Mylers repertoire. What a performance though, up against it before the opening whistle, it just kept getting harder. Really tough to take, but that lads left everything out there tonight. Cannot ask anymore under the circumstances.

Frustrating that we couldn't quite get over the line, but a huge effort. Sometimes (most times!) losses are hard to take, but if you'd described the circumstances to anyone with respect to injuries they'd assume we'd have lost by 40 points, not in extra time. Its the sort of performance which could galvanize our season. Sadly it looks like we'll be down some players for a while though - touch wood Newman's not out for the duration again.

I agree it was an outstanding effort and you have to really feel for the players, they gave it everything. I just found it frustrating that they didn't attempt a drop goal when they had the opportunity. If it misses fair enough, but at least have a pop. Whether it is Myler who takes it or not, just have a go when you are in such a good position. Even Dwyer managed one a couple of seasons back.

In fairness Dwyer was extremely lucky it was a ridiculous play.

Very lucky but if you don't even attempt it you have no chance.

That sums up why Myler has never been good as the main playmaker. Any halfback worth their salt should take control, get the ball to the middle and have a crack at a drop goal.

Agreed.
Even if Myler doesn't take the drop goal himself, at least guide the forwards into position to give someone else the best opportunity.

Just watching the game back, how’s Walters not scored that try before halftime?

He didn’t seem to stretch his arm out at all, that was a missed opportunity

Sounds like a gutting loss.

Seen some very disjointed highlights and can’t understand why sangarre try not given.

Hope Newman and Gannon are not too bad.
