Joe Shorrocks features for Saints after completing 37 tackles against the Black & Whites on Thursday Night.

Jez Litten continues to impress for the Robins with one try, one try assist, 30 tackles and four tackle busts in Round 8.

The table topping Rhinos were in red hot form – and it was a career best for Brodie Croft who crossed the whitewash on four occasions.

Teammate Ryan Hall appears alongside Croft as Leeds ran riot against local rivals Huddersfield. Hall scored his 250th try for Leeds on Friday evening – it looks like Super League’s all-time top try scorer is showing no signs of slowing down! 139 metres in 17 carries isn’t too bad either!

Two Leopards earn their spot in Team of the Week – Joe Ofahengaue and Jacob Alick-Wiencke. Combined, the Leigh forwards made a sensational 66 tackles and 306 metres!

A trio of Trinity players take their place in Team of the Week. Josh Rourke came into the Wakefield team for Round 8 and he certainly stepped up in the absence of full-back Max Jowitt!

One try, four assists and 124 metres in 14 carries by Rourke ensured a comfortable victory for his side.

Prime Tom Johnstone was also on show against the Bulls as the Trinity flier crossed for four tries.

Then, it’s another Team of the Week appearance for Caleb Hamlin-Uele who has started 2026 in scintillating form. Hamlin-Uele contributed 136 metres and 35 tackles all in a fantastic 56-minute stint!

Lewis Dodd enjoyed his best performance yet in a Dragons shirt, completing a hat-trick on home soil.

He joined by teammates Solomona Faataape who went over for two tries of his own and made a mammoth 151 metres in just 14 carries.

Zac Lipowicz also got his name on the scoresheet, with Catalans second-rower producing 124 metres, 23 tackles and three tackle busts.

Last but not by no means least, Krystian Mapapalangi was a Castleford hero as the Tigers claimed their first win at Wigan since 2017!

In the upset of the round, the Tigers stunned the Warriors, and Mapapalangi’s double proved crucial on Sunday.

Round 9 of the Betfred Super League gets underway with a double-header on Thursday Night (live on Sky Sports).
