St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham: 'Poor concentration cost us'

St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham admits that poor concentration cost his team during their defeat to Leeds Rhinos in the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup.

St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham has admitted that a lack of concentration cost his side during their defeat to Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup semi-finals.

The Saints were beaten 24-14 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium last night as Kallum Watkins's late try put Leeds through.

"I was disappointed with the start," Cunningham is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "We probably gave Leeds a little bit too much respect. I could see the players were gassed but I knew, if we were within a score or two at half time, we would be in with a shot.

"We came out really well in the second half and at 18-14 the game was on, but we made the misread on Watkins, which was down to poor attention to detail, and it ended up costing us."

St Helens return to Super League action on August 8 when they will travel to Catalans Dragons in the first round of the Super 8s.
