Saints take on Wakefield Trinity on Thursday for the second successive week with kick off at 7.45pm at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and you can read all the pre-match news in our preview story.
BACKGROUND…
Saints face Trinity again on Thursday, this time as the ‘home’ team at Warrington’s Halliwell Jones Stadium with kick off at 7:45pm.
Chris Chester’s men put up a good showing last week in a 16-20 defeat and will take some confidence from the game, but Saints ultimately got the win when perhaps not being at our best.
Saints are therefore still unbeaten in the Betfred Super League since the restart and sit top of the table whereas Wakefield still haven’t registered a victory since we got back going again and sit bottom.
