Daryl Clark celebrated his 350th Super League appearance in style, scoring two tries as St Helens dismantled Catalans Dragons 36-4 in Perpignan. The veteran hooker opened the scoring in the first half after Joe Batchelor's break, marking the milestone with his 17th and 18th tries for the club. Clark's double came as part of a dominant performance that saw Saints score six tries to one.

St Helens controlled the match from the outset, with Alex Walmsley and Joe Batchelor providing the platform for their attacking play. Jack Welsby added a try before halftime, while Lewis Dodd - facing his former club for the first time since returning to Catalans - came close to scoring but fumbled just short of the line. The hosts' only try came from Josh Simm in the 65th minute, briefly interrupting Saints' momentum.

Connor Farrell converted five of St Helens' six tries, while Aidan Sezer added a late penalty to complete the scoring. The comprehensive victory maintains Saints' perfect start to the 2025 season and extends their winning run against Catalans to five games. For Clark, the performance marked a fitting tribute to his 350-game milestone in rugby league's top flight.
