Saints face rivals Warrington Wolves back at the Totally Wicked Stadium in front of another 4,000 fans with kick off at 7:45pm live on Sky Sports.
BACKGROUND…
Saints currently sit second in Super League having only lost one game so far this season with the only blemish on their record coming against Catalans Dragons in Round 6.
Kristian Woolf’s side are fresh off a 12 day break having had their game against Leeds postponed due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the Leeds camp. St Helens also possess the best defensive record in the league having only conceded 70 points in their opening eight games so far.
Warrington have scored the most points in the league and were victorious last week over Wakefield Trinity – but will need to step up their performance if they are to beat the Saints. They currently sit in fourth in the ladder – one point behind Saints having played a game more. The game will be won down the middle and both sets of forwards will need to gain the upper hand to allow their talented back lines to flourish.
