While St Helens’ Danny Richardson was magnificent in their victory against Widnes, Castleford’s star here was the young stand-off Jake Trueman. Trueman was one of the crown jewels of Bradford’s revered youth production line before the former Super League champions were liquidated last year. That Moors try came either side of penalties from Jamie Ellis and, in truth, there was no way back for Leeds from that. The full-back scored one and had a hand in several other tries as St Helens – who will sign the Fiji captain, Kevin Naiqama, next season – continue to lead the way. They were comfortable 38-10 winners against the Wolves – and just like St Helens’ victory was inspired by Barba, Wigan were thankful for an imperious performance from their own full-back.
