The attendances for Super League round 15 are in, with St Helens recording the largest and only five-figure crowd of the weekend. The Saints saw 11,179 through the turnstiles at the Totally Wicked Stadium as they defeated the Rhinos 18-4 on Friday night.
It was a shock result in terms of form, with Leeds’ five-game winning run coming to an end. And that trend continued at nearby Warrington, with 9,964 watching Huddersfield Giants run out 24-16 winners over Warrington Wolves at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
In the South of France, 9,134 saw Catalans Dragons defeated 26-12 by Leigh Leopards at the Stade Gilbert Brutus on Saturday evening. It was a much-improved performance from the French side but not enough to defeat the Leythers, who moved up to third position.
Over in West Yorkshire, Wakefield Trinity defeated Wigan Warriors 16-10 at Belle Vue in front of 7,753 on Friday night. The win kept up Wakefield’s play-off chase, with Wigan losing ground on runaway leaders Hull KR. Meanwhile, the Robins ran out 48-0 winners over Castleford Tigers, with 7,650 at Wheldon Road on Thursday night.
Finally, the attendance at Salford Community Stadium on Sunday wasn’t given, with Hull FC running out 38-6 winners over Salford Red Devils.
