St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham has praised the "togetherness" of his team following their victory over Warrington Wolves in Super League.
The Saints mounted an impressive second-half comeback at St James' Park on Sunday to earn a 20-16 triumph.
They are now just a point behind leaders Leeds Rhinos, who were beaten by Wigan Warriors on the weekend.
"In the second half, we were outstanding," Cunningham told BBC Sport. "It was definitely a game of two halves. That's two weeks in in a row we've backed our defence and we've come up trumps. You can't fabricate togetherness. They've got to have the will and want, which we showed."
St Helens return to Super League action on June 5 when they will host Salford Red Devils.
