St Helens win 36-12 with 12 men to keep Super League play-off hopes alive

St Helens beat Castleford 36-12 on 22 August 2026, holding their Super League play-off push on track despite Jackson Hastings' red card leaving them with 12 men (rugby league's full complement is 13). Six different Saints scorers shared the tries. Super League's top six at season's end reach the play-offs; the 24-point margin could matter if points difference separates sides.
