Morgan Knowles, Matt Whitley and Harry Robertson crossed in the first half to give Saints a 20-0 half-time lead.

Whitley added his second from James Bell's acrobatic offload to extend the advantage after the break.

With the game well beyond them, Wakefield replied with two tries from Oliver Pratt and another from Mason Lino.
