• Dan Sarginson scores first two tries to set Wigan on their way
St Helens’ hopes of securing the League Leaders’ Shield have been placed on ice for at least another a week – yet while they will still almost certainly finish top of Super League in 2018, their form as the play-offs loom will be of greater concern after being outclassed here by their great rivals.
Justin Holbrook’s side remain six points clear of Wigan with four games left but this is anything but the side that swept all before them earlier in the season. Few could complain with the outcome of this, their third defeat in four games, as the Saints’ season continues to stutter with the most important period of the year approaching.
