Saints’ commando training hits mark for Cunningham

St Helens head coach Keiron Cunningham is very pleased with the way that his squad have worked in preseason so far.

The Saints players have been put through their paces at Cassius Camps in the Lake District, and are now training with 42 Commando of the Royal Marines.

“Preseason is going to plan, The new players have integrated well into the squad and the leaders are leading and doing their jobs,” Cunningham told his club’s official website.

“We’re training well and now we’re looking forward to the start of the season.

“The trip to Cassius was an away day to break things up a little. It was a tough day in a beautiful setting.

“It was part of the world I enjoy coming to and the estate owner George is a good friend of mine.

“We couldn’t replicate it back home and enjoyed it. They laid on a real challenge for us and the team building was crucial.”
