Richie Myler - 6 : Had to come up with some brave defensive plays under high kicks. Did most of Leeds' kicking too.
Tom Briscoe - 4 : Couldn't get to the ball before Jon Bennison as he crossed. Kicked dead for a seven-tackle set close to the Saints line but was a poor option to go to him anyway.
Zak Hardaker - 7 : Came up with a good defensive read when Saints attacked his edge and came up with a huge play to breach the Saints defence that created the sky on the verge of half-time.

Liam Sutcliffe - 5 : Largely quiet in the first 40.
Ash Handley - 5 : A boost to see him fit but Saints' line speed totally shut down his carries in back play.
Blake Austin - 7 : Provided a great running threat throughout and defended with intent.
Cameron Smith - 7 : Looked the most unlikely to unlock Saints' defence with his superb passing ability. His pass put Kruise Leeming to the line to score.
Mikolaj Oledzki - 5 : The pack was battered, he struggled to impose himself.
Jarrod O'Connor - 6 : A few neat touches but largely quiet.
Matt Prior - 4 : Really struggled to keep up with the pace of the game. Didn't cover quick enough to stop Lomax from going through the gap he should have filled.
James Bentley - 5 : A few ineffective carries and his penalty for a high tackle was the start of Saints opening the scoring.
Rhyse Martin - 6 : Penalised for a big tackle on Jonny Lomax but not further sanctioned. Was a threat at times and broke the Super League goal-kicking record.
Zane Tetevano - 6 : Probably got through more work than any other Leeds player.
Kruise Leeming - 6 : Did well to finish off the try despite the best efforts of Saints players. Before that had looked lively but not come up with anything.
Bodene Thompson - 6 : Leeds are always sturdier down the middle when he's on the pitch.
James Donaldson - N/A
Sam Walters - N/A
