St. Helens
St Helens Rugby League Football Club or simply Saints are a professional rugby league club from St Helens, England. They play in the Super League. Their home ground is known as Knowsley Road. Plans are currently in place for the club to move to a new 18,000 capacity stadium, although these plans have been hit by St Helens not being listed as one of the places the government are considering to allow one of the smaller casinos. St Helens' Head Coach is Australia's Daniel Anderson.
They have a strong rivalry with Wigan Warriors and the local derby between the two clubs (both situated in historic Lancashire towns) is traditionally one of the biggest in British rugby league. These derbies arouse fierce local passions in the two towns, and are always hard fought battles. During super league it is St Helens who has had the most success in terms of silverware but it is Wigan who have won more derby games in the summer era.
