Leeds Rhinos 16-6 St Helens after 24:00 minutes.
It's back to back tries and oh my word this one was one of the best, a towering bomb from Sinfield, the bounce of the ball favouring Leeds and then ebay Keith finding McGuire on the inside to score from 10m out.
Sinfield goes out to 2/3 and Leeds in the space of five minutes have taken a huge hold on this game.

Leeds Rhinos 8-6 St Helens after 22:00 minutes.
Brett Delaney scores the Rhinos in a pin point replica of the first try Clarkson, with once again the cross field patted back and Delaney has a walk in out wide.
Sinfield converts from the touchline 1/2 and this really is turning into the best game of the season.

Leeds Rhinos 4-6 St Helens after 20:00 minutes.
Blow for St Helens as Eastmond goes off injured.
-
Jesus wept this game is being played at a fast and frenzied pace with both sides playing some super Rugby.
I the get the feeling that Wigan and Warrington can beat the lesser quality sides, but when it comes to the games that matter, these two giants are the best.

Leeds Rhinos 4-6 St Helens after 09:00 minutes.
This is turning into a classic as young Chris Clarkson gets Leeds up and running on the scoreboard following a super pin point by Sinfield into the St Helens corner.
Sinfield hits the posts with the extra two 0/1

Leeds Rhinos 0-6 St Helens after 03:00 minutes.
The try is given to Chris Flannery following a super kick on the last after some great go forward from the Rhinos and Lomax converts from the sideline.
Wow what a start.
-
Leeds Rhinos 0-0 St Helens after 01:00 minute.
Leeds yet to touch the ball and St Helens score out wide but referee Silverwood goes to the screen, has Flannery touched down before the dead ball line.
-
Sinfield gets us underway here as St Helens will have first use of the ball.
-
Fiftheen out from kick-off and Headingley looks perfect, St Helens look to have brought around 1200 from over the pennines.
Something tells me Mr Silverwood isn't going to get the best of welcomes from the south stand following his handling of the World Club Challenge match back in March.
-
Well it's a barmy summers evening here in Headingley as the top sides of the past four years lock horns once more.
Leeds will still be hurting from the St Helens masterclass they received at Knowsley Road back in April, going down by 41 points to 20.
But Leeds are the form team of Super League at the minute with no defeat in seven (all competitions) and will look to close the gap on leaders Wigan this evening.

I'm wearing my Great Britain top from 2008 to avoid detection if and when I go in the south stand.

One flaw in your argument, the track is owned and maintained by Railtrack, not Northern Rail.
I know but Northern Rail have some control over when this essential track maintenance should take place although on this occasion it would seem they are powerless to stop/hault it.
Still Batley supporters can go Batley -- Huddersfield -- Manchester Picadilly -- Balckpool North.
-
It's going to be a scorcher today if the weather is anything to go by, already touching 22 degrees on thermometer.
I still fancy Leeds to win by six to eight.

Attendance 2,672.
Please it's just a number.

On the way back from the game last night I saw the the dreaded essential track maintenance poster up at Bradford Interchange with the date in bold Sunday July 18th , the date of the Northern Rail Cup Final in Blackpool.
The shock was the fact that Northern Rail have decided to take out essential track maintenance on the main artery route into Blackpool North affecting stations such as York, Leeds, Bradford Interchange, Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Burnley Manchester Road, Blackburn, Preston & Blackpool North and on the Manchester Calder Valley line stations such as Leeds, Bradford Interchange, Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Rochdale & Manchester Victoria.
So instead of a train and a journey time that would take me one hour forty from Bradford Interchange to Blackpool, it'll now take just under four hours as I''ll have to navigate the dreaded rail replacement buses, which simply can't be trusted (see the incident at Selby last year, when one of the buses set off two minutes early empty and so when the packed train from Leeds arrived at Selby there was no bus to meet us and so we had to wait for over an hour for the next one).
I just can't get my head around the fact that the final is Northern Rails showpiece final as they sponsor it and how do they repay the supporters, by making there journey to Blackpool as problematic as possible.
The Batley supporters taking the train would go Batley -- Leeds --- Blackpool North, but now they'll face the farce of having to get on the rail replacement buses.
Bad call by Northern Rail.

Result after a great game reads Salford City Reds 17-14 Harlequins RL.
The Quins crossfield kick is taken by Daniel Holdsworth and the clock will run dead meaning Salford complete the double over the men from the capital.
-
Sixty seconds to go as Harlequins have the ball attacking the Salford defence.
-
From the restart Harlequins are given a penalty for dissent as the Salford players claim once again a Harlequins knock-on but the referee isn't having any of it.
This is as tense and dramatic as they come as the countdown clock reads two minutes to go.
-
Salford City Reds 17-14 Harlequins RL after 76:00 minutes.
The Willows let's out a groan as Harlequins score following the Salford error on the restart and the countdown clock reads that only 4 minutes are left of play.
Danny Orr misses the conversion and from being in a comfortable position, Salford once again have it all to do as time runs down.
-
From the kick-off Salford knock-on and Harlequins are gifted a life line.
-
Salford City Reds 17-10 Harlequins RL after 73:00 minutes.
Matty Smith with the drop-goal from 25m out following some calm and controlled play.
-
Salford City Reds 16-10 Harlequins RL after 68:00 minutes.
I don't believe it, Salford have the ball on the Harlequins 10m line in center field and instead of going for the drop-goal they kick the ball dead and from the restart Karl Fitzpatrick puts in the try saving tackle as Luke Dorn does his best to orkestrate a try as time runs down here at the Willows.
Salford have gone from being in a comfortable position to one that resembles a nervous disposition.
-
Salford City Reds 16-10 Harlequins RL after 59:00 minutes.
What a try, Tony Clubb on the last tackle power play with an outrageous fend off down the Salford line that the great Paul Anderson would have been proud of before the awareness to pass inside to the supporting Jones-Bishop who has too much toe for the chasing Gibson and from nothing, Harlequins are back in this game.
Danny Orr converts his first goal of the evening and it's game back on here 1/2.
-
Harlequins are playing some woeful Rugby League football as Jones-Bishop has the option to pass on the inside to Sharp put doesn't and finds himself in touch.

Sinfield is causing St Helens no end of trouble with the boot, while St Helens just look void of any ideas missing kicks to touch from the penalty mark etc . . .
