 Easy For Saints As They Beat the Young Rhinos Leeds Rhinos picked up the first trophy of the season last weekend as they win the Challenge Cup as they now turned their attention to the Super League and securing a play-off position. But they were up against the toughest of opponents as the reigning champions and league leaders St Helens welcomed Richard Agar's side to the Totally Wicked Stadium.
Leeds are entering an intense period of matches as they try and catch up on fixtures and their coach elected to field a mix of youth and experience, the emphasis being on youth, as he appeared to have chosen to prioritise more winnable fixtures later over the coming days. St Helens, however, were at full strength and determined for the win.
Neither side would change position as a result of the game, but St Helens would consolidate their claim for the minor premiership with a win and the Rhinos really needed the points to keep in touch with a top four place.
