St Helens triumphed over Hull FC with a score of 16-10 at the Totally Wicked Stadium, moving them to second in the Betfred Super League standings. Coach Paul Wellens' decision to adjust his winning lineup proved beneficial, as reported by skysports.com.
In a notable change, Wellens reinstated Jack Welsby at full-back for the first time since his recovery from knee surgery, despite the recent strong performances from Tristan Sailor. Throughout much of the match, Welsby struggled, and Sailor, who was moved back to the halves, was substituted for Jonny Lomax early in the second half.
However, St Helens rallied in the final moments, with Welsby playing a key role in an essential try by Moses Mbye that put the game largely out of reach. The Saints ended the first half with a slim lead, showcasing their superiority, but were hampered by persistent handling mistakes.
