Plenty of afters following Rob Lui absolutely flattening Regan Grace.

Mark Percival takes exception to that challenge and goes in on Lui. Cue a mass, but short, brawl between both sets of players.

That Lui challenge was fine, but it was rash and more forceful than it needed to be.

St Helens didn't take too long to make their player advantage count earlier on when Tom Briscoe went to the bin.

Can they make quick work again this time?

Harry Newman kicks too strongly as he attempts to chase on the turnover at the end of a promising set of six for the visitors.

Soon after, James Donaldson puts in a high arm on Lachlan Coote and the St Helens fans aren't happy.

Chris Kendall sends him to the bin. That's the third sin-binning of the evening.

Leeds get the second half under way at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

A big 40 minutes awaits. Who's going to seal their place at next week's Super League Grand Final?

It's game well and truly on. It's been a cracking game.

The opening 25 minutes from St Helens was outstanding and Leeds were struggling for periods.

However, they have found a way to turn the tide - they have stayed in the fight and have given themselves a chance.

Leeds get on the board right on the stroke of half-time and that will do a lot for the visitors' confidence after a dominant St Helens display for much of the half.

Work to do for Richard Agar's side. Saints, meanwhile, still look in decent shape.

St Helens are scrambling now and they're struggling to deal with Leeds now that they're down to 12 players.

Ash Handley batters his way to within 10 metres of the line and eventually Leeds are rewarded with a set restart.

The Rhinos work it from side to side, knowing they really need to get off the mark, but Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook dispossesses them soon after.

A promising Leeds attack upfield sees Harry Newman duck and dive into space and he attempts a kick chase.

But he's put far too much weight on the kick and it goes dead. From the restart, Tommy Makinson is in some discomfort after Bodene Thompson goes in on his hip as he's already being tackled.

Chris Kendall has a word but play continues.

It's 12 v 13 now as Tom Briscoe comes back onto the field for Leeds after his sin-binning earlier.

Not long now until half-time and Leeds could do with some points on the board.

Sione Mata'utia is sent to the bin for contact to the head with force on Luke Briscoe and now St Helens are down to 12 players.

Briscoe was already on his way down before contact was made and I'm not sure Mata'utia could have avoided it if he tried.

That's a puzzling decision from referee Chris Kendall.

Lachlan Coote is having a game and a half. He weaves his way through a sea of Leeds bodies after throwing a clever dummy.

Jonny Lomax eventually plays the ball through to Alex Walmsley as St Helens break but he's held up before he can get to the line.

Leeds are holding on at the minute but Saints are in total control.

James Roby - take a bow son. It came off the back of strong carries by Alex Walmsley and when Walmsley offloaded, Roby found himself in a little bit of space.

Leeds are really struggling to handle the go-forward and tempo that Saints are playing at.

Lachlan Coote is okay to carry on and goes on to kick the penalty that follows Tom Briscoe's trip to the bin.

St Helens are now eight points up against 12-man Leeds, but can they pad that lead out while Briscoe sits on the sidelines?

That's high! Tom Briscoe puts in a very high arm on Lachlan Coote as St Helens work upfield.

That is reckless. And he's off to the bin after seeing yellow.

This is the last thing Leeds need right now.

Leeds look a little bit lost and devoid of ideas in attack.

Is this the beginning of a Leeds revival? The Rhinos win a penalty on halfway after a ball steal.

The visitors work it left and right as they look to find a way through a resolute St Helens back line.

But they cheaply lose the ball before they can really get going as jeers go up around the Totally Wicked Stadium.

St Helens win a penalty in kicking range after Rhyse Martin goes in on Sione Mata'utia.

Lachlan Coote duly kicks on target this time and Saints pad out their lead against Leeds by another two points.

Leeds are on the ropes here and haven't offered much in the opening stages of this game...which means now I've said that, they'll probably score a try.

St Helens are looking dangerous every time they have the ball. Leeds kick upfield on the turnover, camped in their own half, and Lachlan Coote keeps the ball in play with an audacious leap on the touchline.
