A PICTURE can paint a thousand words, although in this case one would do - ouch!

It is the immovable object meeting the irresistible force with two international legends about to collide at Naughton Park.

Former Saints skipper Chris Arkwright is in classic position, arm cocked, lining up Widnes captain and Kiwi enforcer Kurt Sorensen.

A packed house of 12,484 crammed into the old Widnes ground for this 1989 Premiership semi-final - a game that came the week after Saints' 27-0 Wembley humiliation at the hands of Wigan.

It was a season-ending 38-14 for Alex Murphy's Saints.
