 Saints 2020 Champions With Thrilling Win Over the Warriors It was a day which we thought might never come during the darkest days of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Grand Final from the unfamiliar venue for the showpiece event at the KCOM Stadium in Hull. It was the defending champions against the minor premiers, the top two sides in the regular competition, and most would argue the most fitting two sides to end the season.
Saints were unchanged from the side which demolished the Catalans Dragons last weekend to make it to the Grand Final. Wigan had Sam Powell back in their starting line-up, Ben Flower missing out, as the Warriors looked to emulate their win from a month ago, the last time that the two sides met.
There have only been three Grand Finals where one of these two sides didn't feature although they have only met on three occasions in the season finale, Saints winning on two of the three previous match-ups.
Wigan were very slight favourites with the bookies, St Helens getting a two-point start on the coupon but what we were all hoping for was a hard, fast and close Grand Final to wave goodbye to an extended 2020 season.
