WOOLF MAKES IT A DOUBLE

-

FORMER Townsville Blackhawks and Ignatius Park College coach Kristian Woolf has added his name to the history books at St Helens after coaching the side to back-toback Super League titles.

The 12-10 grand final win over Catalans Dragons, was the third-straight premiershi­p for the famed English club after Justin Holbrook took them to the title in 2019.

Woolf has spearheade­d the past two campaigns that have been built on the back of hard work and grit, which has become a staple of the young coach.

St Helens became only the second club in Super League history to win three straight titles, equalling Leeds Rhinos’ success in the mid 2000s.

“It’s a very deserved win from a group of blokes who haven’t just worked hard this year, but worked hard for three years to put themselves in this position,” Woolf said.
