Daryl Clark marked his 350th Super League appearance with 2 shots in St Helens' thumping victory at Catalans Dragons.


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


Jacob Host and Shane Wright both reviewed before Clark grabbed his second shot of the night in Perpignan.


Charlie Staines pulled a shot back in the 70th minute, however it was no more than a versus a Saints side that went on to complete their first away league win with a Jackson Hastings charge and two late Kyle Feldt attempts.


In a busy start, Staines managed an early try-saving deal with of Tristan Sailor out wide before being crowded out at the other end as he chased after down a hazardous kick.


Both opportunities came in quick succession and right 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 first time given that he made his Super League return with Catalans after an one-year stint in Australia's NRL with South Sydney.


He went close to grabbing an unforgettable try against the club with whom he won three Super League titles, a Difficulty 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 include to the visitors' advantage not long after, and Wright went over again for Saints on the hour mark by spinning out of the clutches of three attempted tacklers to touch down.


Clark attacked out of dummy half and discussed from close range to help make it 24-0 with 15 minutes left and, while Staines connected with Josh Simm on the left edge to get a shot back for the stunned home side, it rapidly got even worse for Catalans.


Hastings, who converted 5 tries in the win, edged Paul Rowley's Saints even more ahead with a 73rd-minute charge before 2 ratings in the final two minutes of the match from respected winger Feldt finished a resounding win.
