St Helens given police escort after 'terrorist threat' made during Hull KR match

• Club say threat was made online during semi-final loss

• Police cordon surrounded team coach as players boarded

St Helens were forced to leave Hull KR's Sewell Group 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 semi-final playoff defeat.

A police cordon surrounded the team coach as players and staff boarded following the game, 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.
