St Helens Make Double Change as Hull FC Herman Ese’ese Decision Made
Harvey Barron scored three tries as Hull FC ended a seven-game losing streak and hurt St Helens’ play-off hopes with six tries.
Hull FC defeated St Helens 32-18 on Thursday at BrewDog Stadium, snapping a seven-game losing streak and claiming the Steve Prescott Cup in their first win at the venue in nine years.
St Helens' loss leaves the club teetering on the brink of missing the Super League play-offs for the first time in competition history, ending a 64-year streak after a fifth defeat in their last six games.
Winger Harvey Barron scored a senior hat-trick for Hull, while prop Herman Ese'ese had a try disallowed for double movement and forward Yusuf Aydin suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Interim coach Andy Last praised the team's effort, while St Helens interim coach Eamon O'Carroll cited "contributing factors" for the performance, admitting it "simply wasn't good enough."
Addressing transfer rumors, Last stated he has heard nothing to confirm reports linking Ese'ese to a move, emphasizing the prop is contracted at Hull until 2030 with a club option.
