St Helens recorded a sixth consecutive Super League victory to set up a compelling three-way battle to finish top of the table, after defeating a Wakefield side who are favourites to be relegated to the Championship.
Paul Wellens’s team were worthy winners in West Yorkshire to move level on points at the summit with Wigan and Catalans Dragons with just three rounds remaining. In contrast, Wakefield remain bottom, two points adrift of Castleford heading into the final matches, though Castleford’s heavy defeat by Warrington on Saturday has narrowed the points difference between the two.
