St Helens broke a losing streak by beating Huddersfield Giants 38–6 at Anfield. Curtis Sironen opened the scoring with a quick double, while Nene Macdonald added a third before half‑time. Alex Walmsley and Jake Davies pushed the Saints past the 30‑point mark and clean defence through.

Victory keeps St Helens sixth, level on 20 points with Hull KR, Wigan and Wakefield. Huddersfield stay bottom after eight straight defeats. Sironen’s first try came after a disputed knock‑on, but he finished with a second thanks to Tristan Sailor’s kick‑chase. The heatwave added pressure to the game.

Mid‑match, winger Lewis Jagger collapsed with heat exhaustion, underscoring the brutal conditions. St Helens coach Paul Rowley praised the win but admitted the team slipped in the second half. Huddersfield’s Jim Lenihan said the Giants fought well, noting early concessions and the impact of Sironen’s brilliance on the play.

With the win, Saints secure a mid‑table berth and a chance to challenge higher‑ranked rivals. Huddersfield’s 6‑point tally confirms their struggle, as they continue to battle injuries and form. The match highlights the gap between the league’s top performers and the bottom‑placed side in the season this week.
