St Helens full-back Paul Wellens ready for Hull FC

Related Articles

St Helens full-back Paul Wellens (28/1 Top Rugby League Tryscorer at Betfred) says his England snub has given him the determination to prove he is not a spent force in Super League.

The 29-year-old was replaced by Hull KR full-back Shaun Briscoe by head coach Tony Smith in one of a number of sweeping changes this summer as the fall-out from the miserable 2008 World Cup campaign hit home for a number of Super League heavyweights.

However, Wellens believes it was the best piece of news he could have received because it has refuelled his passion for the game.

“When I didn’t get called up for the internationals at the end of the year, I took it as a blessing in disguise,” said Wellens.

“I knew it would benefit me to get plenty of rest and a good pre-season under my belt. I feel a lot fresher, in mind as well as body.”

Wellens will start in Saints’ league opener against Hull at Knowsley Road on Saturday in his first appearance since the Grand Final defeat to Leeds four months ago (St Helens 11/4 Grand Final Winner).
