 St. Helens were irresistible in the first half, and led 26–6 with tries from Theo Fages, Kevin Naiqama, Luke Thompson, and Jonny Lomax.Wigan knew they had a job to do in the 2nd half, but this was not to be, as Saints Zeb Taia's score and a Mark Percival double extended the lead to send Saints to their first grand final in 5 years.This was also Justin Holbrook's final game for Saints at the Totally Wicked Stadium, without losing a single home game all season.
