SAINTS' players are currently taking a hard earned rest before stepping up the work again in readiness for Sunday's visit to Wakefield Trinity.

They do so on the back of three wins out of three over the Easter period to remain top of Super League, four points clear of Wigan.

“We have a few days off now and that is important," said prop Luke Thompson.

"We will get our feet up and charge the batteries.

“Then it is on to Wakefield on Sunday. We will assess them when we get back, train hard and then go again.”

The 22-year-old has been in great form so far this year and was at the hub of a pack that secured six points from the three games in eight days.

“Before this period, we said we would focus on each game as it came, so to get three out of three was really good,” he said.

“Friday’s game was a tough one. Hull are a great team and have some big lads – the likes of Scott Taylor and Chris Green. The plan was to take it down the middle, get on top of them and we did just that.

“It’s been a tough period but the wins make you feel better.”

Thommo was also keen to praise the contribution of the backs in the victories over Wigan, Widnes and Hull FC.

“Tommy (Makinson) has been doing a great job for a number of weeks,” he continued.

“It is great when you turn around and see him getting us on the front foot. Regan (Grace) does the same as does Jonny Lomax too. We then come off the back of that."
