Round 20 Team of the Week

Round 20's Team of the Week...

Wigan returned to winning ways with the help of Jake Wardle and Ethan Havard on Thursday.

Wardle came up with one try, seven tackle busts and a staggering 137 metres in just seven carries, while young Havard came second behind captain Liam Farrell with the most tackles made by a Warriors player in Round 20.

A Play-Off place is well within reach for Leigh Leopards following their fourth consecutive victory. Try scorers Josh Charnley and Edwin Ipape stole the show, with Ipape producing a sensational length of the field effort to score against Castleford Tigers.

Robbie Mulhern was also reliable in defence, with 35 tackles completed – the highest of any player on the pitch.

There were new league leaders in Round 20, as Hull KR leapfrogged Warrington Wolves into top spot with a magnificent victory on the road.

Try scoring magician Mikey Lewis appears in Team of the Week for a second week running and is joined by Robins teammate and workhorse Dean Hadley. Together, they racked up 150 metres, 70 tackles, and a try assist each.

Three St Helens players feature – halfback Lewis Dodd enjoyed a phenomenal performance with two terrific tries. Saints stalwart Tommy Makinson was also influential with a try, and James Bell ran an impressive 203 metres.

Salford’s captain Kallum Watkins was pivotal in his side’s victory, scoring two tries and emerging as the top tackler against his former club Leeds Rhinos.

Finally, it’s London Broncos duo Josh Rourke and Jarred Bassett who make Team of the Week as Mike Eccles’ men held on to claim their second victory of the season.
