Lee Smith signed off his Leeds Rhinos career in fine style as he scored two tries to wrap up a third successive Super League title with an 18-10 Grand Final victory over St Helens at Old Trafford today.

England star Smith - who will join London Wasps in the rugby union Premiership - touched down a controversial winner with just seven minutes remaining.

The centre, who has now scored in three successive finals, had eased Leeds back into it before the break after Saints had raced to an 8-0 lead but his clincher looked offside.

Kyle Eastmond scored all ten points for Saints but they couldn't break their Old Trafford hoodoo as Leeds lifted the Super League trophy for a fourth time.
