St Helens were forced to leave Hull KR’s Craven Park under police escort after what the club called a “terror threat” was sent to their Instagram account during their 20-12 Super League playoff semi-final defeat.
A police cordon surrounded the team coach as players and staff boarded it, with the vehicle then given a police escort as it left the area. Their head coach, Paul Wellens, held talks with officers immediately after the game.
