The 1980’s was a down period for Saints with no national titles or cup wins, although they did win regional silverware and the John Players Trophy, but they soon bounced back with the sports move to the summer era.
During this period the club have remained at the very top of the sport and have won numerous Super League titles, League leaders Shields, Challenge Cup and they have also been declared the best club in the world by winning the World Club Challenge.
