• Saints extend lead at top as Warrington lose
St Helens produced another impressive display to comfortably beat Wigan and take another step closer to a second successive League Leaders’ Shield. Justin Holbrook’s side have won 20 of their 22 Super League games so far but for their supporters this will have been perhaps the most satisfying yet, with this their third win in as many attempts against the Warriors in 2019.
The Saints were far superior to their great rivals throughout and, with Warrington losing to Salford, they are 10 points clear at the top with seven games remaining. Cynics will point to the fact they were in a similar position last year and failed to win the Grand Final but this looks like a side on a different level to their rivals.
