English rugby league club; proven powerhouse in Super League history
Sir Billy Boston, one of rugby league’s greatest players, has died aged 92. A Cardiff-born winger who starred for Wigan, Boston was the first Black player to tour with Great Britain and the sport’s first knighted player. Tributes praise his pace, power and trailblazing role in diversifying the game.
Saints have seen head coach Paul Rowley depart less than a year into his tenure, days before a high-stakes derby with Wigan. Interim boss Eamon O’Carroll is taking charge as the club looks to steady a troubled season, while Wigan push to close ground in the league.
