Holbrook leaves on a high as St Helens top Salford in Grand Final
Coach credits 'special' win over underdogs before he goes back to Australia
St Helens celebrate their Grand Final win on Saturday night

ST HELENS coach Justin Holbrook was able to leave the club on a high after seeing his side overcome Salford in Super League’s Grand Final on Saturday.

Saints have won the League Leaders’ Shield twice on his watch but failed to reach the final in 2018 and lost the Challenge Cup final to Warrington this season.

The Australian, who will return home to take charge of the National Rugby League’s Gold Coast Titans, was overjoyed that his team’s entertaining brand of rugby had finally brought them a Grand Final triumph.
