Wakefield became only the second side to defeat St Helens this season and ended a five-match losing run to reaffirm their credentials as potential play-off contenders in 2018. Trinity’s three defeats over Easter came by a combined losing margin of eight points and, despite genuine top-four ambitions, they have tumbled down the Super League table. “We’ve been there or thereabouts for the last five games and it’s nice to win a tight one today. It means I can sleep a bit better tonight.”St Helens remain at the top of the Super League table but their lead has been cut to two points. The league leaders continued to improve in the second half and Luke Douglas reduced the deficit further seven minutes after the break.
