Daryl Clark marked his 350th Super League appearance with two tries in St Helens' thumping success at Catalans Dragons.


Clark's 11th-minute surface at the end of a flowing and well-worked team move was the distinction as the visitors led 6-0 at the break.


and Shane Wright both went over before Clark grabbed his second try of the night in Perpignan.


Charlie Staines pulled a shot back in the 70th minute, however it disappeared than a consolation effort versus a Saints side that went on to complete their very first away league win with a Jackson Hastings penalty and 2 late Kyle Feldt attempts.


In a busy start, Staines pulled off an early try-saving deal with of Tristan Sailor out large before being crowded out at the other end as he ferreted out a dangerous kick.


Both possibilities came in fast succession and simply before Clark opened the scoring, Wright punching through the Dragons' defence to send the England worldwide over.


Saints' early-season journey to France reunited them with Lewis Dodd for the very first time because he made his Super League return with Catalans after an one-year stint in Australia's NRL with South Sydney.


He went close to getting a remarkable shot against the club with whom he won three Super League titles, an Obstacle Cup and World Club Challenge, but fumbled the ball in a take on simply brief of the line after a darting run.


Host then linked with Clark to bulldoze over at the other end to add to the visitors' advantage right after, and Wright repeated for Saints on the hour mark by drawing out of the clutches of 3 tried tacklers to touch down.


Clark attacked out of dummy half and went over from close quarters to help make it 24-0 with 15 minutes left and, while Staines linked up with Josh Simm on the left edge to get a shot back for the shocked home side, it rapidly worsened for Catalans.


Hastings, who transformed 5 tries in the win, edged Paul Rowley's Saints even more ahead with a 73rd-minute charge before 2 ratings in the last 2 minutes of the match from respected winger Feldt completed a definite win.
