Why support our Tour?
Over the last twenty years, eight Saints Tours have been arranged with the goal always to help develop more young players to become future stars of St.Helens R.F.C. Just look at a list of some of our Tourists; Jonny Lomax, Tommy Makinson, Mark Percival, Morgan Knowles, Matty Lees, and Jack Welsby to name just some of the young men who went down under as an Under 18 Saint.
The 2026 Tourists will get the chance to train and live like full-time professional athletes while on tour, working in top-class facilities with our staff; who will get far more time to work with them, educate and develop them not just as players but as young men off the field too.
The tour will see our Saints Academy take on three competitive fixtures against NRL clubs, culminating with a big clash against Penrith Panthers in the final game, as has become a tradition on our tours.
It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for these youngsters to enjoy the country of Australia and all its culture, and our Saints will get to build bonds as teammates that they will hold on to and look back on fondly, forever.
How can I donate to the tour?
Our campaign’s GoFundMe page is set up to make it easy for supporters to donate online!
