LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK
St Helens suffered their first loss of the 2023 season last Friday night in agonising fashion, so Paul Wellens’ men will be out to get back to winning ways.
As part of dramatic final five minutes, Konrad Hurrell was sent off before Blake Austin slotted over a winning drop-goal to salvage the Rhinos’ start to the season and claim their first win of the year in the third round.
Meanwhile Leigh also secured their first victory of the season away at Hull KR on Friday, with Josh Charnley scoring the decisive late score.
LAST TIME WE FACED LEIGH IN SUPER LEAGUE
The Saints last faced Leigh in Alex Walmsley’s Testimonial fixture of the 2022 season, but in competitive league action it was back in August 2021. It was a hard-worked but ultimately comfortable St Helens win by 42-12 at the Totally Wicked Stadium saw Jack Welsby grab a brace.
Watch the highlights of that game below, with the full match replay available on Saints TV.

Super League summary
Saints and Leigh have faced each other in Europe’s top rugby league competition on just seven occasions. Friday night’s home side have won just one of those games, whilst our Saints have won six.
The highest winning Saints score against Leigh (and also the widest margin) came back in 2005 at their former home, Hilton Park, in a demolition 4-78.
LMS: 450 NOT OUT
Our Londoner could make his 450th career appearance on Friday night. The veteran-prop has always been a popular member of the squad since joining from the 2011 season, with his passion always on show. In his time with the club he has won five Super League titles, four League Leaders’ Shields and one Challenge Cup so far.
With over 400 Super League games under his belt, his 350th Saints appearance is fast approaching – but should he take to the field against the Leopards he will reach 450 games across his career. A brilliant achievement.
(347 for St Helens – 2011-2023, 97 for Harlequins – 2006-2010, 3 for Ireland – 2017, 2 for England 2008-2009)
