SUPER LEAGUE X: ST.HELENS OVERTAKE LEEDS RHINOS

St Helens eased their way into top spot of the regular season table with a highly convincing win over London. With Leeds having lost to Bradford on Friday, Saints knew victory would take into first place with just three rounds remaining. The Saints are now a best price 4/7 to finish top having been available at 11/4 only a few weeks ago. It was infact recommended to back St.Helens at the time based on their arguably easier schedule. St.Helens play Leigh away in a fortnight followed by what now looks a very tough encounter at Wigan before finishing up at home to Bradford Bulls. Leeds Rhinos have their biggest test after the Powergen Cup Final at Wigan before finishing with home games against Warrington (with Andrew Johns) and Wakefield.
