Play-offs

Wide to West
St Helens, who finished second in the regular season table, hosted Bradford Bulls for the qualifying play-off in week one of the play-offs. One of Super League's most well known tries was scored in the final seconds of the match. Bradford led the game 11–10 into the final minute when, deep in the St Helens half with the match seemingly lost, St Helens were awarded a penalty. The try scored on the second tackle by Chris Joynt became known as "Wide to West" due to the phrase being used in live commentary by Eddie Hemmings. St Helens won 16–11. Eddie Hemmings and Mike Stephenson commentated for  Sky Sports:
 
Hemmings   It's gonna be the match for Bradford. Stephenson He's given a penalty. Hemmings   Oh, he has. Stephenson He'd called held there. They're still not out of it. Oh, they've taken a short one, they know they've only got ten seconds. Will they get this play-the-ball in? They're holding him down. Crowd [counting down until the end of match] 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
