Leeds Rhino’s travelled to Manchester last weekend to defend their Super League crown against a strong St. Helens side at old Trafford. Brian McClennan’s side made history by winning the trophy for a third successive year with an 18-10 scoreline. Tries from Matt Diskin and Lee Smith combined with goals from man of the match Kevin Sinfield aided the victory, not to mention Rob Burrow’s drop goal late on that put the match beyond the opposition.
