- Catalans Dragons 10-12 St Helens
- Saints take third successive victory in showpiece fixture
We all wondered just what scale of history awaited us at Old Trafford, and in the end, as it so often has been in the history of Super League, it was St Helens who wrote the script. Nobody quite knew what to expect from a Catalans Dragons side making their Grand Final debut, and while they certainly didn’t buckle under the pressure of the biggest game in their history, there was just no accounting for the experience this magnificent Saints side possess on the grandest stage.
It was a final that had everything. Drama, controversial moments and unmissable, nonstop action. This was one of the great Grand Finals, but ultimately, it was a familiar outcome as this St Helens side underlined their status as one of the modern era’s finest sides, with this their third successive league title. They are only the second side in Super League history to achieve the feat, and how they were made to work for it.
