We were out-enthused at Saints due to our poor attitude, insists Arthur

Disappointed coach Brad Arthur put Leeds Rhinos' 18-4 defeat at St Helens down to one thing.

The result ended Rhinos' five-game winning run and was largely self-inflicted, with all the home side's points coming off Leeds' errors. Saints went 4-0 ahead through two penalties, both after Leeds had knocked-on playing the ball and a try on the stroke of half-time doubled their advantage.

Rhinos hit back with a touchdown by Riley Lumb soon after the interval, but Saints grabbed their second try at the start of the final quarter and scored again on the last play of the match.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Arthur was brutally honest in his assessment of how the game was lost.
