St Helens finally get a win in Perpignan thanks to two Jonny LOmax drop goals

Not since 2018 have St. Helens fans returned home in triumph and song from the South of France until Saturday. Jack Welsby ignited the game with remarkable line breaks, establishing a comfortable lead for the Saints. However, the Catalans regained their composure, with St. Helens' nemesis, Sam Tomkins, scoring two tries that brought the match to a tense climax. In a pivotal moment, the often-criticized Jonny Lomax stepped up to successfully convert two drop goals, securing the victory for his team.

Let's take a look at the action:
