 | MATCH SUMMARY St Helens (10) 34
Tries: Sculthorpe, Pryce 2, Long, Graham 2
Goals: Hooper 4, Long Wakefield (8) 8
Tries: Tadulala 2 |
St Helens scored four tries in the second half to brush aside Wakefield at Knowsley Road and extend their Super League winning streak to 12 games. Saints held a tight 10-8 lead at the break after Leon Pryce added to Paul Sculthorpe's early effort to cancel out Wakefield's Semi Tadulala two tries. But the home side pulled away in the second half with Pryce grabbing his second and Sean Long touching down. James Graham then sealed the win with two more just before the final whistle.
St Helens coach Daniel Anderson:
"I think we fell a fair way short of how we want to play. "In terms of our completion rates, it was ridiculous how many times we decided to cough the ball up. "I think we can play a much more mature and professional game, especially when things don't go our way." Wakefield boss Tony Smith:
"I don't think the scoreline reflected the game but we came up a bit short. "And St Helens, being the class team that they are, scored just before and after half-time and killed the game. "To let them in at half-time was a big thing and it might have been a different game had we gone in at the break with a 10-6 lead."
