Super League: St Helens go level with Leeds Rhinos at top of Super League after Wakefield Trinity win as Hull KR win big at Bradford Bulls

St Helens went joint top of Super League alongside Leeds Rhinos as they hung on for an 18-12 win at home to Wakefield Trinity on Saturday. 

Saints dominated the first half, and although a fifth-minute Owen Dagnall try was ruled out on review, they led 12 minutes in when Dagnall set up Jake Davies to force his way over.

Six minutes later they had a second try as Jonny Lomax teed up Kyle Feldt to cross, and it was 16-0 at the break after an interception from Harry Robertson led to Tristan Sailor touching down.

But Wakefield got themselves on the board in the 55th minute when a Saints knock-on afforded them a second chance which Tyson Smoothy accepted.

Jackson Hastings kicked a penalty just before the hour to pad the Saints lead, and it was a margin they needed as Caius Faatili went over untouched after a nice pass from Jake Trueman.
