St Helens happy for Kristian Woolf to coach Tonga in autumn tests | Rugby League News |
Kristian Woolf’s departure sparked a revolt among Tonga’s leading players
St Helens say they will not stand in the way of Kristian Woolf taking charge of Tonga for their autumn internationals if he is reinstated as coach.
Woolf is due to take up a two-year contract with the Super League leaders on November 1 as the successor to Justin Holbrook, who is leaving the club at the end of the season to join Gold Coast Titans.
However, Saints chief executive Mike Rush says he would be comfortable with Woolf delaying his arrival if he wants to take charge of the Tongans for their Tests against Great Britain in Hamilton on October 26 and Australia in Auckland a week later.
