Leeds go back top with thumping win at St Helens
Leeds Rhinos go back to the top of the Super League standings on points difference with a rare and comprehensive away win at St Helens.
Leeds Rhinos secured their first League Leaders' Shield for 11 years after a dominant 38-16 victory over St Helens in Super League. The Rhinos, who hadn't won at St Helens since March 2023, moved back to the top of the table with a points difference advantage. Cameron Smith was the standout performer with six tries, including a remarkable individual score that sparked the Rhinos' 18-point lead at halftime.
St Helens, now two points away from securing a play-off spot, failed to capitalize on Hull KR's recent loss to Wigan, leaving them trailing by two points with only two games remaining. Leeds' coach, Brad Arthur, praised his team's control and composure throughout the match, looking forward to upcoming play-offs against challenging opponents.
