Catapult stats tracker: hard-working Houghton

Hull FC's veteran hooker Danny Houghton was at his hard-working best in Round 3 to help his side clinch a nervy win against Betfred Super League new boys, London Broncos.

Houghton covered more distance than any other player in Round 3, clocking an impressive 8.9km during an 80-minute stint in the middle. He also worked at an intensity of 94 metres per minute - the most from any Hull FC player - alongside a round best 58 tackles.

Elsewhere in Round 3, Red Devils duo Shane Wright and Joe Shorrocks topped the intensity charts as Salford romped home to victory against the high-flying Robins. 

Wright led the way with an intensity of 101 metres/min during his 49 minutes on the field, while Shorrocks recorded an intensity of 99 metres/min in 65 minutes.

Wigan Warriors flyer Abbas Miski registered more high-speed efforts than any other player in Round 3. The Lebanese international hit the high-speed threshold of 25.2km/h a huge 17 times against the Giants, with Miski's right centre partner Adam Keighran and Castleford's Innes Senior not too far behind with 12 high-speed efforts.
