Four for Feldt on Saints return

Salford Community Stadium, Sunday
ONE wonders just how important the 128 points St Helens have put on Salford over two games will that prove to be come the end of the season.
Not that this result, despite the high score, will do little to ease the pressure Saints coach Paul Wellens has been under this year to deliver results, with many frustrated with the lack of progress made.
That’s perhaps understandable given Saints are Super League’s most successful side. For Wellens, the challenge of delivering what fans consider a successful season has become even tougher, especially with star playmaker Jack Welsby - involved in nearly a quarter of the team’s tries prior to this game - expected to be sidelined for 16 weeks.
But while the stats, going into the game, showed they have the third best attack and one of the best defences based on points conceded – doubts remain over whether Saints can challenge among the likes of Hull KR and Wigan.
