St Helens have reported Wakefield Trinity to the RFL after claiming they have received no communication from their Super League rivals regarding Harry Robertson.<\/p>\n
It was exclusively reported last week that Saints had turned down a six-figure transfer bid from Wakefield for the young talent, with head coach Daryl Powell confirming they had made an approach on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Incredibly, Saints are now claiming that isn\u2019t the case, that they have had no communication in any from from Wakefield regarding the 20-year-old star.<\/p>\n
And they have also said they will have reported it to the RFL Compliance Department for review following Powell\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n
The statement read: \u201cContrary to public statements made by Wakefield Trinity in relation to Harry Robertson, a player contracted l long-term to St.Helens, the Club has received no contact or communication whatsoever from Wakefield Trinity.<\/p>\n
\u201cNor would we entertain any.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have reported this matter to The RFL\u2019s Compliance Department for their review and, if merited, appropriate action should be taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cSt.Helens R.F.C. will make no further comment while this matter is under review.\u201d<\/p>\n
What Daryl Powell said<\/p>\n
It comes after Powell expressed his admiration for the player, who is under contract until the end of the 2028 season.<\/p>\n
Asked about reports of a bid, Powell said: \u201cThere\u2019s nothing to clear up, that\u2019s true that.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a player that we were interested in \u2013 who wouldn\u2019t be? We made an offer, and Saints declined it. That\u2019s up to them, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really like him, we think he\u2019s a high-quality player\u2026 We\u2019re keen on Harry, but we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robertson one of England\u2019s best young stars<\/p>\n
Robertson, who is part of England\u2019s Performance Squad, was named Super League\u2019s young player of the season in 2026 after a remarkable breakthrough year.<\/p>\n
Still only 20, he has become a regular in the Saints side, first under Paul Wellens and now new coach Paul Rowley.<\/p>\n
Wakefield are looking for a strike outside back as they look to complete their squad for 2027. Suliasi Vunivalu was one player on their radar before pulling out, with Robertson another. Powell had left the door open for another bid, but latest developments could change things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"St Helens have reported Wakefield Trinity to the RFL after claiming they have received no communication from their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":659481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-659480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/659481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
