ROUND 3 TEAM OF THE WEEK
The 2023 Betfred Super League season continues to gather momentum.
George Williams was in stunning form on Thursday night as Warrington Wolves came from behind to beat Salford Red Devils. The Wolves half-back provided three assists and crossed for a try of his own in what was his finest performance in Primrose & Blue to date.
Catalans Dragons' big off season recruit Siosiua Taukeiaho made his debut in their big win over Hull FC in Perpignan. He amassed 135 metres in a hugely impressive maiden appearance and powered over for a second half score. Adam Keighran & captain Ben Garcia also put in inspired displays.
Leigh Leopards stunned Hull KR to earn their first win since promotion back to Super League. Josh Charnley's last minute score sent the travelling Leopards supporters into delirium and proved Adrian Lam's side won't be the whipping boys newly promoted sides often are. A word for Lachlan Lam who is quickly developing into one of Super League's finest half-backs.
In another last minute victory, Leeds Rhinos won a stunning match against St Helens 25-24. It was Saints' first game at the Totally Wicked Stadium since becoming World Club Champions. However, the Rhinos the spoiled the party with Nene Macdonald, Rhyse Martin and Jarrod O'Connor all putting in fantastic performances.
Huddersfield Giants won a low-scoring contest 8-0 at Wakefield Trinity. Joe Greenwood scoring the only try of the match. Castleford Tigers were another side nilled at home on Friday. Wigan Warriors racking up 36 unanswered points, including three more tries for Liam Marshall, who now has eight in three games to kick-off 2023.
