On Friday before the Catalans game, Paul Loughlin will be in the club shop between 6.30 and 7.30 signing copies of his auto biography "From Grass To Glass" which Neil Barraclough has described in the Forty Twenty magazine as in the running for the funniest book of the year.
Good news also for those who like to read about the greatest game. The shop has just taken delivery of five more books which all have a strong St Helens connection.
