Wakefield (4) 4

Try: L Walmsley

St Helens (20) 34

St Helens brushed aside Wakefield with six tries to climb to fourth in the Super League table.

Prop Alex Walmsley waltzed in for Saints’ opening try after seven minutes and it set the tone as loose forward Morgan Knowles and hooker Daryl Clark also went over to help them into a 20-4 half-time lead.

Harry Robertson added a fourth try after the break before Kyle Feldt crossed twice to complete a crushing victory.

Wakefield found little in attack and only had a first-half try from Lachlan Walmsley to show for their efforts.
