Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott said crucial mistakes had cost his side following their defeat to St Helens. Speaking after the game he said: "We were in command but that was never the game so early. I was never feeling comfortable at 16-0. I'm not sat scratching my head wondering how we lost. We missed too many soft tackles at crucial times and it gave them a bit of momentum. Take away a couple of blunders near our try-line and it's more of a tighter scoreline."

St Helens boss Nathan Brown praised his side's performance after they ended their losing run in Super League with 30-22 victory over the Rhinos. He said: "The first 20 minutes were disappointing and I wasn't sure where we were heading but in the last 60 we did really well. To come from 16-0 down against a good side like Leeds, you've got to credit to the guys."

Leeds Rhinos let a first half lead slip away at home to St Helens. The Rhinos started well when Watkins scored a try after six minutes and Moon and Burrow got one each soon after to make it 16-0 but Saints hit back running in six tries to end their losing run and put them back in the top eight

Mitch Achurch said the Rhinos are hurting after losing to St Helens, despite having an early 16-0 lead, "It's a little bit worrying at the moment, they are the sort of things that are letting us down, we are putting in 10-15 minutes of good footie in and then we are letting them back in and once we let them back in it's hard to get them to slow up again. It's back to the drawing board I suppose and find out what's going wrong and fix it quickly."
