A George Whitby hat-trick gave St Helens a much-needed and dominant 40-0 victory over Catalans Dragons at the Totally Wicked Stadium in Round 11 of the Betfred Super League.

With both sides needing to win the game after poor runs, the hosts were the team with all the control and laid down a marker, with 18-year-old Whitby scoring 24 of Saints’ points.

St Helens had a dominant lead at the half-time break through four converted tries, Whitby going over twice with Alex Walmsley and Deon Cross also touching down for a 24-0 advantage.

It was then the turn of the Saints wingers to get on the scoreboard in the second half, Tristan Sailor and Lewis Murphy going over, with Whitby sliding in for his third to round out the scoring.
