St Helens have refuted Wakefield Trinity's claims that they rejected an offer for centre Harry Robertson, taking the matter to the RFL's Compliance Department. The Saints issued a strongly-worded statement denying any contact from Wakefield, stating they would not consider offers for the 20-year-old prospect.

Wakefield head coach Daryl Powell maintained his club made a genuine approach for Robertson, who is under contract until the end of the 2028 season. Powell praised the player's quality while confirming outside back positions remain a priority in their recruitment plans. St Helens' denial directly contradicts these public assertions about the transfer approach.

Robertson enjoyed a standout 2025 campaign, scoring 16 tries and providing seven assists to earn Young Player of the Year honors. His performances earned inclusion in Brian McDermott's England training squad for 2026, making him an attractive target for rival clubs. The transfer dispute adds tension ahead of both teams' upcoming fixtures.

St Helens sit level on points with Wakefield but trail on points difference in sixth place. They face Bradford on Saturday while Trinity take on Huddersfield on Sunday, with both clubs needing victories to improve their league positions.
