ST HELENS’ match against Huddersfield Giants on Sunday afternoon attracted an average audience of 255,000 on the BBC.
A 52-4 hammering wasn’t exactly what Huddersfield fans, players and coaches would have wanted but Saints were ruthless from start to finish, with the likes of Tristan Sailor and Owen Dagnall running the Giants ragged.
That result lifted Saints into third place, just two points behind arch-rivals and second-placed Wigan Warriors, whilst Huddersfield dropped back down to 11th after momentarily shooting up to 10th following Castleford Tigers’ hammering by Leeds Rhinos.
It was another one of the fixtures given live BBC coverage, with BBC Two running the programme from 2.15pm.
The match had a 4.4% share of the TV audience.
