Leeds Rhinos held out St Helens in the closing match of day one of Magic Weekend for a 17-4 win at St James’ Park in Newcastle.
Leeds got on top in the first half through an unconverted try from Riley Lumb and a converted effort from Lachie Miller, Saints unable to get on the scoreboard as Brad Arthur’s side went in at the break with a 10-0 lead.
St Helens hit back in the second 40 through an unconverted Matt Whitley effort but a Jack Sinfield dropgoal and converted Morgan Gannon try helped the Rhinos romp to victory.

The second half also saw a controversial yellow card handed out to Lewis Murphy, the St Helens winger sent to the sin bin for kneeing Alfie Edgell in the head while competing in the air for a kick.
The card took the sting out of the game and reduced the clash from one that was on the precipice of being a real contest with St Helens holding the momentum to Paul Wellens’ side just trying to keep Leeds out while a player down.
