Super League: St Helens 34-6 Wakefield Trinity - Saints steamroller their way to victory

Regan Grace has now scored seven tries in his past four games for St Helens in all competitions and has scored two tries in three consecutive games

A stunning second-half display saw St Helens maintain their winning start to the season as they thrashed Wakefield.

After a scoreless opening half, Saints took just a minute after the restart to score as Kevin Naiqama went over.

James Bentley added to their tally soon after while Jack Welsby touched down as St Helens picked up some steam.

Regan Grace went over twice with Naiqama also running in his second try before Jay Pitts' late consolation for the visitors.

Victory for St Helens means they have now won all three of their games in Super League this season as well as beating holders Leeds in the Challenge Cup.

Wakefield, meanwhile, are yet to win in all competitions so far this term, having been beaten by Catalans in the lead up to their return to the Totally Wicked Stadium.

In a scrappy first half, Saints saw Bentley sent to the bin inside the opening 20 minutes for arguing with referee James Child.

Wakefield, who came into the match without the injured Bill Tupou and Matty Ashurst, as well as star winger Tom Johnstone due to concussion protocol, saw Jacob Miller come off injured before the break.

Despite a valiant effort to keep the hosts at bay, Wakefield finally conceded as Naiqama powered over on the right, with his try invigorating Kristian Woolf's side to steamroller their opponents in the latter stages.
