St Helens saints announces departures of three offseason players….
Sunday rugby league action with the Saints taking on Salford Red Devils at the Salford Community Stadium, with kick-off at 3pm. We will keep you up to date with all the key moments with Live Match Centre here on saintsrlfc.co
After a dominant victory last Sunday away at Twickenham Stoop Stadium over London Broncos 6-52, the Red V face he Red Devils who are in a good run of form. Paul Rowley’s side beat London themselves at home at the start of June, then last week put in a strong performance over Challenge Cup finalists Warrington taking a 0-19 lead at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in the first half, eventually running out 14-25 victors.
Now past the halfway point of the regular season, Salford have firmly established themselves in the top six hunt for play-offs rugby. Heading into this week’s action our hosts on Sunday hold a nine wins and five losses record and sit in fifth place. One of those wins came over Saints in March, ending a 44 year wait to win away at St.Helens.
Wellens’ troops are in a positive mood and on a four-match winning run after victories over Castleford, Leeds, Catalans and London. Sat currently at the top of the Super League table with Wigan behind on points difference, but with a game in hand, and with the top six race tight – every result counts. Saints will also be highly motivated to get one back over Salford after the narrow loss back in March.
