• Tom Davies breaks leg on miserable day for Wigan
There cannot have been many sweeter afternoons to be a St Helens supporter in recent years. We are often reminded that form goes out of the window on derby day but in reality, when there is such a chasm between two teams like there was here, the result was hardly ever in doubt.
For St Helens, the Super League leaders, this was a case of a comfortable afternoon’s work and they are now four points clear at the summit – but the final scoreline does not even begin to tell the whole story. While the gap between themselves and second-placed Warrington doubled here in the sunshine, what was far more telling was the gap between the Saints and their greatest rivals.
