St Helens full-back Jack Welsby puts in a clever kick on the turnover and the visitors regain possession.

But not for long.

Mark Percival attempts a quickfire offload but it's well regained by Leeds courtesy of James McDonnell.

St Helens haul Chris Hankinson into touch just on halfway and extinguish a burgeoning Leeds attack.

Good stuff from Saints and a frantic start is well under way.

Leeds hold firm and the ball is turned over as St Helens run out of ground just before the line.

The hosts could do with settling some nerves right now.

Oh dear!

Lachie Miller kicks the ball out on the full right from kick-off!

That's not the start Leeds will have wanted. They concede a penalty in the process and St Helens gain ground.

Right then, here we go.

The second Super League play-off eliminator is under way after outgoing Leeds Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington carries the ball out before kick-off.

Who's going to win this one, and go through to face League Leaders' Shield winners Hull KR next week?

Should St Helens be knocked out of the play-offs tonight, it would bring down the curtain on Morgan Knowles' career with the club.

The 28-year-old has made over 200 Saints appearances and has won multiple honours including four Super League titles, but he will depart at the end of 2025 in order to join NRL side the Dolphins where he will link up with former Saints boss Kristian Woolf.

"There's a number of reasons for us to be motivated around finishing 2025 in the right way and Morgan Knowles finishing his time at the club is one of those," Saints boss Paul Wellens told BBC Sport.

"We'd love him to step on the plane and go to the NRL with another Super League Grand Final winner's ring."

Leeds Rhinos boss Brad Arthur said that his demands of his side were not quite met this season and that he believes they can do better.

They finished in the top four for the first time since 2017, a year when they won in the Super League Grand Final.

"I expected us to be better than what we were [this season]," he said. "Where that took us wasn't completely short but I would have been really disappointed if we weren't playing in the play-offs.

"If you'd have said to me at the beginning of the year that we'd finish fourth and get a home eliminator, I would have ripped your arm off and taken that opportunity."

Leigh Leopards swept aside Wakefield Trinity last night in the first Super League play-off eliminator to book their semi-final place.

The hosts finished nine points ahead of Trinity in the regular season and dominated the first half as tries from Keanan Brand, Isaac Liu and Josh Charnley put them 18-0 up at the break.

Jayden Myers' reply early in the second half gave Wakefield hope, but a Gareth O'Brien penalty and Alec Tuitavake's score meant Cameron Scott's superb solo try was mere consolation.

The win earned Leigh a short semi-final trip to second-placed Wigan as they bid to reach their first Super League Grand Final.

Last night, Leigh kicked off the 2025 Super League play-offs with a thumping win over Wakefield.

Tonight, knockout rugby league continues.

Leeds, a force under Brad Arthur, take on a St Helens side that finished the season strongly.

It's sure to be a humdinger.

Kick-off's coming soon.
