Paul Wellens believes his St Helens side are shaping up for an assault on a fifth straight Super League crown after a stirring second-half performance saw them hammer Huddersfield 48-6 in Newcastle.
Tommy Makinson starred with four tries in an individual Magic Weekend record of 28 points but it was a complete team performance that impressed Wellens after a season in which they have so far struggled to re-assert their dominance.
