This game saw the best of St. Helens as a humbling loss to Wigan at Knowsley Road towards the end of the regular season was exonerated by this 50 point hiding of the same opposition at the JJB Stadium confirming their place at Old Trafford for the Super League Grand Final. Led by a standout performance from Sean Long, who contributed two tries and nine goals, St Helens dismantled the league-leaders with a series of spectacular tries, the best an Anthony Sullivan special that summed up the best of the Welsh Winger: a fluid running style and a natural swerve that left Dallas, Radlinski, Connolly and Robinson trailing as he went 80 metres to score under the posts. Did he ever score a better one that this? Saints would go on to win the Super League Grand Final, once again beating Wigan 29-16 who had qualified after winning their eliminator against Bradford.
