Super League: Wakefield Trinity 16-46 St Helens – Saints keep play-off hopes alive

Advertisements

Lachlan Walmsley had a try disallowed for Wakefield five minutes into the second half due to a knock-on in the build up from Corey Hall, and that moment proved pivotal as Murphy scored a fantastic second of the match in the left corner, diving in one-handed with little to no space on the touchline.

Sailor moved to the wing because of an injury to Murphy and then saved his side, pushing Walmsley into touch as he dived for the line.

The visitors capitalised at the other end through Keeley who reacted first to the loose ball and touched down his first senior try for the club following a mistake by Caius Faatili.

Sailor sealed the win with 11 minutes remaining, pouncing on a missed grab by Sinfield, to dot down and Davies scored Saints’ sixth, powering over on the right edge.

A fantastic second half showing from Saints was summed up by Sailor who raced from well inside his own half past a tiring Wakefield defence to complete his hat-trick with an outstanding individual effort.

Davies then scored his second to make it six second-half tries, breaking through multiple missed tackles before diving over.

Victory means Saints still have the chance to avoid missing out on reaching the post-season shake-up for the first time in Super League history.
