Saints are on the road again on Sunday as we face Salford Red Devils in Betfred Super League Round 21 with kick off at 3pm and we have all the pre-match information for you right here in our preview.
BACKGROUND…
It’s top of the table vs the in-form team in the league as Saints travel to Salford for a tasty top six encounter. Salford have won four of their last five, including impressively beating Catalans 32-6 and are in top six form.
Saints head into this one on the back of a hard-fought, last-gasp golden point win over Wakefield and Kristian Woolf’s men know they will need to improve if we are to come away with two points as we edge closer to that League Leaders’ Shield.
