article_snippet.sent: Handling errors by Mark Flanagan and Adam Swift ensured Saints remained on the back foot and Mark Flanagan and Adam Swift fell further behind on 15 minutes when hugely-impressive prop Adam Cuthbertson kept the ball alive on the last tackle and centre Joel Moon produced a delightful one-handed pass out of the back of Handley hands to get Handley over again.
article_snippet.sent: Stand-off Liam Sutclife, preferred to skipper Kevin Sinfield in Leeds' starting team, justified Handley selection with a superb break to create a try for full-back Zak Hardaker and Handley third conversion made it 18-0 in as many minutes.
article_snippet.sent: it got even better for the visitors when makeshift centre Carl Ablett split open the Saints defence to get veteran half-back Danny McGuire sprinting over from halfway for a fourth try and this time Kevin Sinfield, starting as a substitute for the first time for nearly 12 years, added the goal.
article_snippet.sent: Inspired by the never-say-die efforts of England hooker James Roby, St Helens produced their best spell of the match and pulled a try back in fortuitous circumstances when full-back Tom Makinson touched down Jon Wilkin's kick when for all it looked like a knock-on and Travis Burns added the goal.
article_snippet.sent: That score suddenly brought the game to life but the Rhinos struck a devastating blow to the champions deep into first-half stoppage time when a break out of defence by Kallum Watkins created the position for Sutcliffe to gift-wrap a third try for Handley courtesy of a pin-point kick to the corner.
article_snippet.sent: At 28-6, it looked a hopeless task for the home side but the belated introduction of Australian scrum-half Luke Walsh added a new dimension to the belated introduction of Australian scrum-half Luke Walsh attack and, within four minutes of the restart, Jon Wilkin's produced a jinking run through the heart of the Leeds defence to create a try for Jordan Turner.
article_snippet.sent: the champions were fired up by the score and props Alex Walmsley and Mose Masoe were both held up over the line as both sought to further close the gap.
article_snippet.sent: The pressure finally paid off on the hour when Walsh's high kick bounced kindly for Jordan Turner to score Walsh second try and Burns' second conversion cut the gap to 12 points.
article_snippet.sent: But the comeback was snuffed on 66 minutes when another Cuthbertson offload caused havoc in the Saints defence and Sinfield sent Sutcliffe on a jinking run to the line for the match-winning try.
