Super League: Leeds Rhinos fight back to beat St Helens 24-16 and move top of table via Jake Connor's boot Maika Sivo, Harry Newman, Chris Hankinson score tries, Jake Connor adds three penalties in Leeds Rhinos' comeback Super League win over St Helens; watch Catalans Dragons take on Wigan Warriors live from Paris from 5.30pm on Saturday, live on Sky Sports+ (kick-off 6.30pm) Last Updated: 04/06/26 10:07pm Leeds Rhinos fought from eight points behind to edge St Helens 24-16 on Thursday and move top of the Super League table. A first half in which Leeds had by far the clearer chances but failed to take them saw St Helens outscore them by three tries to one: Alex Walmsley, Kyle Feldt and Tristan Sailor all crossing for a clinical eight-point advantage. Harry Newman added Leeds' second try early into the second half - following Chris Hankinson's first-half effort - with a pair of Jake Connor penalties in either half meaning the contest was level at 16-16 heading into the final quarter. That's how things remained until seven minutes to play, when Connor struck his third penalty of the contest for the lead with Saints' David Klemmer sin-binned for a needless late shot on Hankinson. Maika Sivo then kept up his superb form for Leeds this season with a late try to ensure victory - his 20th score of the season, six more than anybody else in the league. The victory also sees Leeds end a 10-year hoodoo of St Helens victories at Headingley. - Super League as it happened: Leeds Rhinos 24-16 St Helens - Get Super League tickets here - Not got Sky?
