SAINTS players were quick to share Saturday's success with their families at Old Trafford on Friday night.
It was something they could not do last year at Hull when the game was held behind closed doors.
Those supportive wives and partners have shared the sacrifices the players have had to endure during lockdown and Covid restrictions.
So there was an understandable elation at the final hooter and after the presentation when those players sought out their partners and parents in the crowd.
Bernard Platt captured the scenes of joy with Alex Walmsley, Kyle Amor, Mark Percival and Kevin Naiqama.
