Saints travel to Wigan Warriors on Friday (8pm kick off) for a Derby clash which could result in Saints being crowned Super League Leaders'.
BACKGROUND…
Saints travel to the DW Stadium on Friday evening (8pm kick off) to face rivals Wigan for the fourth time this year having faced off twice in Betfred Super League and in the Betfred Challenge Cup Semi Final.
In fact, this week’s game will be 100th meeting between the two teams in all competitions in the Super League era and what better occasion to potentially secure the League Leaders’ Shield. Kristian Woolf’s men need just one point to secure top spot.
