Liam Farrell has expressed the importance of Friday night’s derby against St Helens at The Brick Community Stadium.

Looking ahead, Farrell said: “Derbies are always intense games no matter what. It won’t be the big plays that will win the game, it will be all the small efforts, so it’s important to start well to give ourselves the best chance of winning. We had a tough game against Leigh which set us up and I’m looking forward to this one who I’m sure will step it up again.”

Of St Helens, Farrell said: “Saints losing their last two games will add more motivation and intensity to the game as I’m sure they will come here wanting to put in a performance against us. It’s a very big game for them, but it’s also a very big game for us.”

Sharing his memories of the derby, Farrell said: “I had some really good moments and some really bad moments. Derbies are the games you looked forward to playing as a kid. This isolated game is incredibly important for both cities, fans and clubs.”
