Leeds Rhinos player ratings after heroic effort in St Helens defeat

Richie Myler - 6: 300th career appearance and gave everything. Could have perhaps done more with Sironen's try though and that fumble at the end was so costly. Great effort though.

Ash Handley - 7: Scored the opening try and ran his body into the ground playing in various positions.

Harry Newman - 5: The sight of him leaving the field in tears was a tough watch. Only played 30 minutes.

Nene Macdonald - 7: His carries were superb. Leeds' most dangerous ball carrier here.

Derrell Olpherts- 7: Another who stepped up when his side was busted. Strong effort.

Morgan Gannon - 5: Was quiet before an ankle injury saw him helped off before half-time.

Aidan Sezer - N/A: Went off at half-time and didn't return.

Tom Holroyd - 7: Would be an eight but three handling errors isn't good enough. Beyond that he was outstanding.

Jarrod O'Connor - 7: Dread to think what his tackle count was. Work rate was simply sensational.

Sam Walters - 6: Another who would have scored higher but that attempted offload on play one, 20 metres out, with three minutes to go, was a catastrophic mistake. Prompted James McDonnell's red card though he can't take the blame for that. Partially to blame for the Sironen try too.

Rhyse Martin - 8: You know what, he'll be disappointed with that missed goal. But he was excellent. Magical break for the opening try.

James McDonnell - 6: Reserving judgement on the red card before seeing a better angle but that was the last thing his side needed when his team was saw down on troops was that. Hard to give a player sent off more than a six.

Cameron Smith - 8: Proper captain's knock. Extraordinary effort.

Corey Johnson - 6: Played all over the park and had a right old crack. Nice break in Golden Point.

Justin Sangare - 7: Unlucky not to score after having a try ruled out by the video referee. Then an excellent break in the second half. An improved display

Mikolaj Oledzki - 7: Like everyone else, massive effort

James Donaldson - 7: Another whose effort was just outstanding.
