He knows just what it’s like to be part of Salford’s motley crew but St Helens’ Joey Lussick won’t be fooled by them now.
The Aussie hooker hopes to end the Red Devils’ Super League dream in Saturday’s semi-final. Unfashionable Salford caused a stir when reaching the 2019 Grand Final where they were eventually unpicked by a Saints side on the start of their three-peat glory. Lussick was on the bench for the underdogs then but is now part of the champions’ squad after joining from Parramatta this term.
He recalled: “After that Grand Final defeat, the boys went straight down back into the tunnel. But I actually stayed back on the field and I watched the Saints boys for a couple of minutes, lifting that trophy, saying that I wish it was me. I'm very fortunate to be here at a great club now.
