This St Helens team is the greatest of the SL era. No question.

They can also be debated against the great pre SL team of Wigan

Wasn't a flukey win either Saints bossed it for the first 65 mins of the game. Quite a few of the Penrith world cup stars didn't measure up to the Saints committment desire to win this game.

Penrith now know the adage. NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS. Big win for Superleague but that will land on deaf ears for the majority of Neutral Fans despite many saying you have to win in OZ to have any value.

I'll be the first to say i thought Saints would get beat but WOAH what a win. I think i've had 3 heart attacks.

Absolutely outstanding against back to back NRL champions. Done SL and our country proud. What pee’d me off was Yeo’s speech saying “first game back”……. No it’s not they played parramatta last week, should of played more players, they had just as much prep as St’s the disrespectful turd.

Yes I spotted that,such poor losers.

Awesome was saints

Ram it up your backside nrl/aussies

Great result for super league

Penrith try at the end they definitely wanted it

Well you have joined a select few (well 1) to go and beat the best in Aussie Land in there back yard.
Which isnt open to debate.

Indeed. Pull up a chair, we can now eat at your table. Sorry it’s taken so long but we are here now

Great effort by Saints, it's never easy over there.
I dont get why so many Saints fans have a chip on their shoulders though.

And so you should be,outstanding win.

I think they are, probably justifiably, concerned that this team won’t get the credit or be remembered in the way they deserve. A lot of folk are just jaded with the game. This is a great achievement but it was a game I had zero interest in watching as a neutral.

Hull KR kick off in a minute. Against Wigan. I’ve set to record.

I quite enjoyed Leigh vs Salford last night.

Edit: I’m going to have to be very careful my press delete muscle memory doesn’t kick in.

Edit 2: on reflection, I wonder if they’re (well, those on here that are) maybe, at least subconsciously, trying to provoke any sort of response. Where earlier SL dynasties had a degree of novelty, we’re now at the ‘oh, another dynasty’ phase. Interminable platitudes about sport being cyclical and Rome not being built in a day. At least people disliked Wane-era Wigan, perhaps that is better than being ignored. He said, having posted nearly exclusively about Saints this weekend. It could be working!

Great performance and result for Saints.

Saints were brilliant what a game.

Well done to them on equalling Bradford’s 3 world club challenge wins.

Congratulations Saints, worthy winners.

1 more and you are the same as Wigan,exclude Manly (invitation by wigan)then its 3 ,can we join your club aswell please or is it just Superleague.

Unlike other clubs, none of our WCC victories were won inside our own stadium so with home advantage.

Okay !!!

Incredible, congrats to the saints. I hope they have been documenting the last few seasons behind the scenes. Would make an incredible watch

I'm sure they will. No one is denying how great a team they currently are, and the trophy cabinet proves their success. Their outstanding achievements will be remembered for a long time, especially the way the Saints fans like to remind everyone.



They will undoubtedly be spoken about for decades to come the way the Widnes team of the late 70's, Wigan from mid '80s through the '90s, Bradford in the early 2000's, and Leeds of the late 2000's.

It must be a good time to be a Saint.



It's a shame Netflix didn't send a documentary crew last year. That would have lifted the profile of the sport, as well as given us all a few laughs.

Hopefully they have, would be a fascinating watch.

Could Saints be the first team to win back to back WCC games?

The esteemed head coach of the Salford Red Devils has agreed with my assertion.

I would'nt go that far.

You've just reminded me, I have a clock that needs fixing.

His coaching record speaks for itself with a win ratio of 75.5% which is only slightly worse than SL's greatest ever coach, Kristian Woolf who has 75.6% but puts him ahead of Wigan's Matt Peet with 71.88% and miles ahead of perennial loser, Daryl Powell who has a measly 62.23%

I would like to say that St Helens are second best to the greatest team in RL history but prob are number 1 in Super League history as they have won more trophies etc than anyone else but in RL Wigan have won more than St Helens.
But this assessment is up to date and could be different in 10/20/30 years as we dont know what the future holds .
