20 mins to go, great game, enjoying this. Hope Leeds will edge it.

Brilliant advert for SL, fast game that is tight - too close to call

and two very good post match interviews from Lomax and Especially Wilkin.

the last thing we needed tonight was a Shaun Ainscough/Gaz Hock erm fest.

Whatever Peoples thoughts on wilkin as a player he is a good ambassador for the sport

Great game, Ganson gave everything to Saints though. Didn't like how Eddie kept going on about football fans, did he really think any football fans watching would respond well to him basically calling football players pansies (when someone, possibly McGuire, was bleeding and stayed on the pitch)? Wilkins plea for people to buy tickets for Magic Weekend was pretty cheap.

Who Said these weekley rounds are nothing but a friendly!!Great game played at great speed well played both teams on tonights game.

I hope this weekend lives up to all the billing now.

whod of thought leeds would be in 8th position..defeat to the bulls this weekend and the alarm bells will be ringing...as for saints its the pies will they get put in their place again

Beats football hands down!

Good game, good game, Sir Bruce.

On the coverage though. That was embarrassing.
People watching, must have thought "Good God. How many presenters do you need".
We had
Hemmings
Stephenson
Clarke
Carney
Studd
McDermott
O'Connor
Wells in the pre-amble...talk about too many cooks
and Arthur (who we never saw)
Angela Powers must be sat at home with a voodoo doll and a bucket full of pins, shouting "where was my invite".

Also, the national anthem, and players being presented to "dignataries"(FOR A LEAGUE GAME) was trowelling it on a bit thick, wasn't it? Looked a bit small time, trying to be big time.

Criticised for trying to promote the game? You couldn't write it...

Oh hang on, you just did...

They'll probably 'win' SL form there. In a way I hope they do 'cos it's a loving joke.



Or carry a good performance through to next week and we'll be top.



As long as we don't get beat on Saturday.

Some of the presenters were doing 3D coverage mainly or only in Arthur's case, so they needed more (in the case of Clarke though, less of him would be welcome). On the football on Saturday there was Redknapp, Souness, Gullit, Neville, then with a presenter, commentator, touchline reporter they were nearly up to the same number on HD coverage alone.

Overall an interesting game, a very good crowd of 15,343 and hopefully high viewing figures.

Absolute breath of fresh air last night was Ganson's refereeing, and listening to John Wilkin after the game speaking like a normal person, and being passionate about our game.
