😇 ACADEMY UP FIRST!
It is the final regular-season match of the Academy Championship campaign for our Under 18s against Hull KR.
Following their victory last Friday night over Bradford Bulls, the Saints are sat in third place heading into the final round, but level on league points with both Wigan and Huddersfield in fourth and fifth. The Academy Play-Offs are contested with the top four teams following twelve rounds, and the fight for those spots is going right down to the wire.
Hull KR lost to the second-placed Leeds Rhinos last time out, and on their own turf, they will be seeking to finish 2025 with a win.

COACH PREVIEW
Our Head Coach believes that last week’s hard-fought contest against the team on the other side of Hull, Hull FC, was just the sort of game his squad needed.
St.Helens have arguably the hardest run-in, with three matches to play against sides inside the top five of the table, but that opportunity to steel ourselves before the Play-Offs has got Wellens’ troops excited to play.
