Round 24 Team of the Week

Here is your Round 24 Team of the Week as The Final Charge carried on!

Jai Field enjoyed a stellar performance as the Warriors a record 12th straight Super League win and kept up pace with the Rhinos in the race for the League Leaders' Shield.

A sensational length of the field solo effort was just the start - Field also assisted a try, racked up 211 metres and bust through four Trinity tackles.

Teammate Brad O’Neill was also at his industrious best with 46 tackles - the highest of any Wigan player on the pitch.

A trio of Leopards feature following their terrific ten try display against the bottom-placed Bulls.

Key orchestrator Lachlan Lam was at the heart of the action with two tries, two assists, 171 metres and four tackle busts, as Leigh made sure of another statement victory as their Final Charge intensifies.

Likewise, Innes Senior also banked two tries of his own, one try assist and a whopping 213 metres.

And Joe Ofahengaue, who has been unlucky to miss out on Team of the Week in recent weeks, stepped up in the loose forward position on Friday, with a try, 147 metres and 16 tackles.

Can the Leopards push for that top four finish?

Never write off the Saints is ringing true. It was another win for the Red V who are fighting to keep their Play-Off hopes alive, and both Jack Welsby and Harry Robertson were integral to Saturday’s success.

It was one try, one try assist, 222 metres and four tackle busts for Welsby who has found his form once more, while star boy Robertson has discovered a home in the halves, tallying three try assists against the Tigers.

Toulouse duo Romeo Tropis and Mathieu Jussaume then helped their side to stun the champions, causing damage to the Robins' home Play-Off tie aspirations.

If it wasn’t seven tackle busts coupled with an impressive 259 metres in just sixteen carries, Tropis also crossed the try line twice, while Jussaume, a renowned workhorse, was also a try scorer and one of the French side’s top tacklers with 35.

Head coach Sylvain Houles should be proud of his Toulouse team, who move to within just two points of their rivals, the Dragons, who are sitting in eighth.

Over in Perpignan, powerhouse prop Harvie Hill stole the show for Hull FC, with the standout moment certainly being his mesmerising run and sidestep to score. 

Prop turned playmaker in Round 24?

On Sunday, Riley Lumb was hat-trick hero as the Rhinos ran riot in York, returning to the top of the Betfred Super League table as a result.

Chris Hankinson also continues to impress adding two tries and a try assist to his name.

 

The Final Charge continues on Thursday 27 with Wigan Warriors hosting current champions Hull KR (live on Sky Sports).
