Hull FC 6
St Helens 46
ST HELENS head coach Paul Wellens said bigger challenges lie ahead after his side halted the club’s worst run in Super League history with an easy win.
Saints headed to the MKM Stadium on the back of five straight defeats that left them in sixth place in the table, but they ran in eight tries at depleted Hull, including two apiece for Lewis Dodd and Jake Burns.
It was their first win since mid-June when they thrashed London Broncos 52-6 and has lifted them up to fifth.
Wellens said: "We've stopped a losing run, I think that's important. But by no means are we sat here now thinking we're the finished article.
"We've got a lot of improvement in us and we're going to have to get better.
"The challenges down the track that we're looking at are going to be tough, very tough.
