IT was a stormy, often brutal, game against Catalans Dragons....a typical knockout semi final with plenty of players nursing the scars of battle during and after the game.

However, there were also plenty of smiles....the ones that showed Saints were on the way to victory and another Grand Final appearance.

Bernard Platt captured those players showing their delight after scoring - or setting up - the tries that sent them on their way to the KCOM finale against Wigan Warriors.
