Leeds thump Saints in Super League

Leeds have beaten St Helens 41-16 in the Super League.

A hat-trick of tries from teenage winger Ash Handley helped Leeds to a handsome 41-16 win over reigning champions St Helens, taking them six points clear at the top of Super League.

The 19-year-old Handley got his big chance due to an injury to England winger Tom Briscoe and how he has seized it, with six tries in just six Super League appearances.

The Rhinos oozed confidence on the back of their five-match winning run while Saints looked fragile as the one-time leaders crashed to a fourth defeat in their past five matches.

Leeds have now played every team in Super League and, with just one defeat in their opening 11 matches, will take some stopping as they eye a first league-leaders' title for six years.
