Super League Grand Final: Catalans Dragons 10-12 St Helens: Saints win three in a row
St Helens captured a third Super League Grand Final triumph in a row to shatter Catalans Dragons' hopes in a tense and gripping showpiece at Old Trafford.
Around 1,000 Catalans had travelled over from France to see their team in a maiden Grand Final, but they left heartbroken as St Helens' big-game experience told in front of a largely red and white following. Naiqama is returning to Australia and his tries were superbly taken efforts - the first with a majestic step to burrow over, and the match-winning effort in the second half by collecting Jonny Lomax's kick and sliding home.
They had learned their lesson from last month, when they conceded three tries and a golden-point drop-goal in the final four minutes as they were beaten by the very same opposition.Perpignan-based Catalans joined Super League 15 years ago and were aiming to make history by becoming the first overseas team to lift the trophy and shift the power away from the M62 corridor.
