Leeds Rhinos 16-26 St Helens
Challenge Cup Semi Final
Galpharm Stadium, Huddersfield
You were defending a lot today in that heat?
Yes, it was hot out there but we can’t do anything about that but we need to cut out our own mistakes and then we can take care of the opposition.
The injury to Rob Burrow was a crucial part of the game as well?
Yes, Rob has been dynamic for us this season and just solid overall so it was a disappointment to lose him. I don’t want to take anything away from Saint Helens because they were good today.
The important thing now is to put things right for the remainder of the season?
We just need to refocus and look to get to the Grand Final and need to sort ourselves out for that. I’ve probably only got three more shots in getting to the final at Wembley and it hurts but you just have to get on with it.
Do you think you are ever destined to make it there?
I don’t believe in destiny. You make your own luck.
It was a brave performance after such a big losing margin at half time?
We showed some good character and if we got another try straight after the two we got then we would have won the game. We didn’t do it. We came out the second half and played well but we got tired towards the end.
