COACH PREVIEW
Head Coach Paul Rowley spoke to the press ahead of St.Helens’ trip to Castleford Tigers on Saturday afternoon.
The Saints head into Round 12 at the top of the table, but Rowley insisted there is no sense of getting carried away inside the camp. While Rowley admitted there is still plenty of improvement, he felt the group had handled adversity well, without making excuses.
Ahead of the trip to ‘The Jungle’, Rowley was keen to point out the threat that Castleford can provide, particularly on their own, hostile ground. Added to that, Rowley is well aware that Castleford’s attack can trouble any side when they are at their best.
