Leeds Rhinos player ratings from 42-12 Super League defeat at St Helens

Leeds Rhinos played well for spells in the heavy defeat at St Helens, but a shambolic final quarter undid their hard work.

Saints scored three late tries as Rhinos imploded, having Zane Tetevano sent-off and Bodene Thompson and James Bentley sin-binned, all in separate incidents.

The trio had each played well and would have received higher marks, but for those lapses.

Harry Newman had a fine game in his second start of the season, but Leeds finished well beaten and a top-six place is now looking unlikely.

Here's how the Rhinos players rated, along with marks for the Saints side and referee.
