Try: Staines
St Helens (6) 36
Tries: Clark 2, Host, Wright, Feldt 2 Goals: Hastings 6
Daryl Clark marked his 350th Super League appearance with 2 shots in St Helens' thumping success at Catalans Dragons.
Clark's 11th-minute surface at the end of a flowing and well-worked team move was the distinction as the visitors led 6-0 at the break.
Jacob Host and Shane Wright both went over before Clark grabbed his second try of the night in Perpignan.
Charlie Staines pulled a shot back in the 70th minute, however it was no more than an alleviation effort versus a Saints side that went on to finish their very first away league win with a Jackson Hastings charge and two late Kyle Feldt tries.
In a busy start, Staines pulled off an early try-saving tackle of Tristan Sailor out large before being crowded out at the other end as he chased down a hazardous kick.
Both chances came in fast succession and simply before Clark opened the scoring, Wright punching through the Dragons' defence to send the England worldwide over.
Saints' early-season journey to France reunited them with Lewis Dodd for the very first time given that he made his Super League return with Catalans after an one-year stint in Australia's NRL with South Sydney.
He went close to grabbing a remarkable try against the club with whom he won three Super League titles, a Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge, but fumbled the ball in a deal with simply except the line after a darting run.
Host then connected with Clark to bulldoze over at the other end to add to the visitors' benefit not long after, and Wright went over again for Saints on the hour mark by spinning out of the clutches of 3 tried tacklers to touch down.
Clark pounced out of dummy half and discussed from close quarters to help make it 24-0 with 15 minutes left and, while Staines connected with Josh Simm on the left edge to get a try back for the stunned home side, it rapidly became worse for Catalans.
Hastings, who converted 5 attempts in the win, edged Paul Rowley's Saints even more ahead with a 73rd-minute charge before two scores in the final 2 minutes of the match from prolific winger Feldt completed a definite win.
