St Helens see off Bradford Bulls

St Helens have returned to winning ways in the Super League with a 30-18 victory at home to Bradford Bulls.

Willie Manu, Thomas Makinson and Iosia Soliola all touched down during a dominant first half for the hosts, while Gareth O'Brien converted all three scores.

Brett Kearney went over in response for the visitors before Luke Gale added the extras as the Saints secured an 18-6 lead at the break.

A converted try from Josh Jones extended the home side's advantage after the interval, but tries from Matty Blythe and Elliot Kear set up a nervy final 10 minutes.

However, O'Brien kicked over the conversion following Jon Wilkin's score late on to seal the win for the Saints.
