On Thursday night, St Helens produced a shimmering display at the Totally Wicked Stadium, as they thrashed Play-Off rivals Catalans Dragons, 40-0.
18-year-old George Whitby’s personal 24-point haul, including a hat-trick, inspired the Saints to a stunning home victory.

It was a tale of two halves in the second instalment of Wigan Warriors and Leigh Leopards’ Battle of the Borough.
Contrary to their low-scoring and historic 0-1 thriller back in Round 1, Friday’s spectacle served up plenty of points and a 12-try fest, with the Leopards trailing 28-12 at the interval.
Liam Marshall, Jake Wardle, Adam Keighran, Junior Nsemba all produced sensational scores off the back of their attractive and renowned attacking play, before Kaide Ellis made it five for the champions.
Leigh responded through Tesi Niu who charged over, as well as Joe Ofahengaue in the first forty, but the game looked to be dead and buried.
Adrian Lam’s outfit came out firing, however - scoring 12 unanswered points in as many minutes via an Ethan O’Neill double.
The entertainment continued in the second stanza and a breakaway Wigan try with Kruise Leeming on the end of it would stretch the hosts’ lead and ensure a home victory.
Owen Trout then scored late consolation to reduce the gap in the scores.
Bevan at it again ?

Ryan Hall was the hero of Leeds Rhinos in their game against Hull FC at AMT Headingley, as his last-gasp match-winning score snatched victory at the death.
Leeds fought back from 16-4 down in scintillating fashion and maintained fourth place in the Super League table.
The Black & Whites took the narrowest of leads through Lewis Martin at the break and extended this when Sam Eseh also crossed the whitewash.
James McDonnell replied for the Rhinos, before Harvey Barron extended Hull's advantage.
Momentum soon shifted when Tom Holroyd and Riley Lumb hit back for Leeds, before veteran Hall was at the heart of the drama and his effort in the corner sealed the win (18-16).
"HALL HALL HALL!" ?

On Saturday, Hull KR hosted Huddersfield Giants - and it was a scrappy affair in the opening forty and littered with errors from both sides.
The game was initially low-scoring with just a single Joe Burgess score separating the two sides at the break.
But the hosts came out firing the second half and it was Mikey Lewis who kickstarted the action with a score from close range.
This was before the renowned Robins attack came to the sufrace and Tyrone May, Kalepi Tanginoa, Jack Brown and Burgess again all crossed the line for a comfortable victory, as they move back to the top of the Super League table (34-0).
On Sunday, Trinity produced a strong home display to defeat the Wolves.
In-form prop, Caius Faataili scored twice at the start of the contest, before Josh Griffin added another try shortly after

Trinity came out firing in the second 40. Corey Hall settled nerves just three minutes into the half. Before Tom Johnstone and Josh Griffin both added tries to settle the nerves of the hosts.
Oli Pratt capped off a fine Trinity perfromance as he strolled over after a mistake from Wolves' fullback Matt Dufty.
Round 11 concluded with the Tigers hosting the Red Devils at the Jungle.
The visitors knocked on the door early, but the first points of the contest went the way of the Tigers through Tex Hoy.
Tries from Zac Cini, Innes Senior and a second from Hoy gave the Tigers a commanding lead at the break.

However, the Red Devils showed fight with Matty Foster and Nene Macdonald both scoring early to keep hopes alive of a comeback success.
But it wasn't to be, as Muizz Mustapha went under the sticks, before Hoy completed his hat-trick as he grounded a kick just in time.
It's a Hat-Tex ?
