Saints inflict heavy defeat
14 Jun 2019
Tommy Makinson marked his 200th Super League appearance for St Helens with a hat-trick as they restored their six-point lead at the top of Betfred Super League with a dominant 38-2 win over Huddersfield Giants.
The current holder of the Golden Boot scored twice in the first half and again in the second at the Totally Wicked Stadium as Justin Holbrook's side proved the shock defeat at bottom club London Broncos last Sunday was merely a blip.
Theo Fages and Jonny Lomax scored two tries apiece, while Australian full-back Lachlan Coote - one of the signings of the season - produced another virtuoso performance, either scoring or assisting six of Saints' tries as well as kicking five goals.
After going behind to an early penalty from Oliver Russell, Saints - who have now beaten Huddersfield three times in 2019 - produced a stunning spell which saw them score five tries in only 20 minutes, laying considerable foundations for a comfortable victory.
