• St Helens 40-10 Wigan• Saints secure place at Old Trafford; Wigan now take on SalfordIt may well be a stretch for Wigan supporters to concede they have been thoroughly outplayed from their great opponents from across the Billinge Hill - but for everyone else, this was about as close to a perfect display of play-off rugby from St Helens as you are likely to find.
This, their fourth win of the season against Wigan, ensures they are the first team to book their place in the Grand Final - for a record-breaking 11th time. But should the Warriors defeat Salford next week to set up a fifth meeting of the year, history has shown us that Wigan have produced their best on the biggest stages.
