One kick broke my heart, but it'll mend and we'll be back. That's the beauty of @Saints1890 I'm with 'em 'til I die and proud to be so

Lads gave it their all. Some shocking decisions by the ref. Downward motion? Sod off. Roll on next season @RedVeeDotNet #SaintUntilIDie

We lost and have to accept that we, Saints Past Players, will be watching Wigan V Leeds in the Grand Final. One 40/20 changed that semi

@RedVeeDotNet sums up season. Composure lacking and missing a matchwinner. But remarkably gutsy performance

James Roby and Leeds' Zak Hardaker crossed for first-half tries before Luke Walsh kicked a drop-goal to give the defending champions a 9-8 lead at the break.
And when Mark Percival went in to open a five-point the 2,000 Saints that had travelled over the Pennines had high hopes of a trip to Old Trafford to face Wigan.
But led by Kevin Sinfield, Leeds fought back and Ryan Hall crossed for a try that Sinfileld converted to nudge Leeds ahead.
Kallum Watkins killed off the game in the last minute.
