Tonga coach Kristian Woolf has set his sights on a special return to Old Trafford for the Rugby League World Cup final after leading St Helens to Super League glory at the same venue. Woolf finished his time in charge of Saints by overseeing his third straight Grand Final victory and the club's record-breaking fourth consecutive triumph with a 24-12 win over Leeds Rhinos at the end of September.
History comes in all shapes and sizes and, in a way, every side that lifts the Super League trophy writes their own slice. But on Saturday evening at Old Trafford, there is something slightly more significant on the line.
Rugby league immortality is now tantalisingly within reach for St Helens. Never before in the Super League era has a team won four consecutive league titles; in the entire history of the sport, dating all the way back to 1895, it has been achieved only once. There have been occasions this year when one has wondered if the all-conquering Saints would have to settle for three in a row.
The St Helens coach, Kristian Woolf, will leave the reigning Super League champions at the end of the current season to take up a contract with new NRL franchise Redcliffe Dolphins. Woolf has delivered the league title in each of his first two seasons at the club, and will aim to make that a hat-trick in this year’s playoffs, which begin next week.
The only thing that rises higher than the temperature when we get to this stage of the Super League season are the nerves, and how that was evident here.
Here are the latest rugby evening headlines for Wednesday, August 3.
