Why we are

congratulate colleagues?

Woolford smiled and responded: “It’s a little thing we used to do back home and when I first came here I thought it would work well, especially after wins.

“The reviews can get a bit mundane, with a lot of the same things every week, and they can be tough when you lose, so we thought when we win we’ll try and have a little bit of fun.

“So the last man in for a try celebration has to pay £10 to the players’ fund.

“It’s really quite funny watching them.

“Jermaine McGillvary is quite often on the other side of the field when a try is scored, so I think he has paid out the most of anyone – and he likes his money, too, does Jerry, so he’s not too happy!

“He has asked if he can have £10 added for every time he scores, but I told him ‘no.’

“It’s just a bit of fun, but we’ve had quite a laugh out of it.

“It’s quite funny watching the guys react and racing each other to join in.

“What we really like is when the last guy gets in there but then realises there is no-one behind him – you can see the disappointment on their faces.

“Like I say, it’s just a bit of fun and we only do it when we win – but we have won a lot of matches lately so it’s gone down really well.”

McGillvary, of course, goes into the St Helens match having score a hat trick in each of his last two appearances.

Darnell McIntosh continues to struggle to keep his name off the scoresheet, too, and Woolford’s side will be aiming to keep up their scoring form.

Saints are fresh from their surprise Challenge Cup semi-final defeat by Catalans Dragons, but Woolford expects them to be back to their best.
