Super League team of the week as Hull FC and Hull KR dominate after big wins

The Super League table is beginning to take shape following another exciting round of action.

Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves and St Helens continued their unbeaten starts in comfortable fashion in round three, while Hull FC picked up a big win over Salford Red Devils.

Elsewhere Catalans Dragons and Hull KR picked up results to shore up their starts to the season.

With that in mind, Hull Live takes a look at some of the top performers from the round.

Full-back: Jake Connor – Hull FC

Arguably the best individual performance of the season so far, Connor was unplayable against Salford as he picked up six try assists at the MKM Stadium. He got himself over for a try, too, on what was a memorable day for the number one.

Wing: Darnell McIntosh – Hull FC

McIntosh continues to impress in black and white and he touched down for his second try of the season on Saturday. However, the winger also made 150m and five tackle busts in 16 carries while he also kicked four goals.

Centre: Mark Percival – St Helens

Another couple of tries for Percival and he continues his bright start to the season. The centre also made 19 tackles and racked up 110m.

Centre: Cam Scott – Hull FC

Scott played less than 40 minutes against the Red Devils but he did enough in that time to earn his place in this team as he collected two tries and made 134m.

Wing: Sam Wood – Hull KR

Wood made up for his nightmare start to life at Craven Park with two tries in Rovers’ win over Castleford. He broke four tackles, made two clean breaks and enjoyed himself throughout the clash at Craven Park.

Half-back: Thomas Leuluai – Wigan Warriors

Leulaui’s stats may be modest but those who were at the DW Stadium on Thursday night went home talking about the former New Zealand international’s class. He had a hand in several tries, broke three tackles and threw himself about defensively in a big shift.

Half-back: George Williams – Warrington Wolves

Williams was instrumental in Warrington’s win over Toulouse on Saturday night as the half-back got over the line, set one up and ran for 145m. He also produced four tackle busts and made 24 tackles. That’s some effort.

Prop: George King – Hull KR

King just keeps on growing in a red and white shirt and he was on top form against the Tigers. He racked up 153 metres with the ball in hand and really made his presence felt.

Hooker: Matt Parcell – Hull KR

Parcell certainly had a busy night on Friday as he recorded one try, one assist, 34 tackles, four tackle busts, 143 metres, nine dummy half runs and one clean break.

Prop: Mike McMeeken – Catalans Dragons

Not his usual position but McMeeken enjoyed himself at prop against Leeds on Thursday night, he made 45 tackles and broke three tackles as the Dragons piled the misery on the Rhinos.

Second-row: Liam Farrell – Wigan Warriors

Arguably the best back-rower in the country, Farrell just continues to impress in Cherry and White. He bagged two tries against Huddersfield Giants on Thursday night and made 36 tackles.

Second-row: Jordan Lane – Hull FC

Lane only made 46m in the game against Salford, but he touched down for two tries as his line running and skill with the ball stood out.

Loose-forward: Ben Garcia - Catalans Dragons

Included in this team of the week for the second week running after a big display at Headingley as he made 51 tackles and 110m.
