St Helens booked their place in the Super League Grand Final with a powerful seven-try display against the Rhinos at Knowsley Road.

Daniel Anderson's men restricted last year's Grand Final winners to just two tries at either end of the match and they can now enjoy an extra week of rest as Leeds try again to qualify for the Grand Final.

Saints looked bang up for the contest with their old rivals right from the start - with their opening try a superb move flowing right across the field.

From a Meli break down the left, Saints switched the play with quick hands right across the field for Gardner to cross in the right corner for his 27th Super League try of the season.

Leeds hit back with McGuire seizing on Meli's fumble, but Saints ended a tight half 12-4 in front as a result of Gidley's 22nd-minute touchdown.

Saints came storming out after the interval and blew Leeds out of the water with three tries in a devastating spell of attacking rugby.

With Leon Pryce and Keiron Cunningham bouncing out of the Leeds tackles, Meli managed to get over before a quick-fire double from Roby all-but sealed the victory but just a couple of minutes later Wilkin returned an interception all the way for his first try.

Gareth Ellis got a consolation for Leeds, but even then they were not allowed the last word as Wilkin bagged his second two minutes from time to seal a glorious night all round for the Saints.

A third successive Grand Final now awaits and a prospective double for Saints, but they know from last year that Leeds are capable of bouncing back in the season's finale.

Old Trafford Here We Come. Bring It On!!
