Super League Team of the Week as Warrington Wolves dominate

Round two of Super League featured some eye-catching individual performances.

St Helens, Huddersfield Giants, Salford Red Devils, Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves all maintained their 100 per cent records, while Catalans Dragons picked up their first win of the new campaign.

Here, Rugby League Live selects its team of the week.

Full-back: Jai Field, Wigan Warriors

The Australian has been at the heart of Wigan's revival, helping himself to a hat-trick in the win over Leeds Rhinos and pulling off a superb try-saving tackle on Liam Tindall, not to mention running for a staggering 261 metres.

Wing: Josh Charnley, Warrington Wolves

The winger scored two tries as Warrington made light work of Castleford Tigers to take his Super League tally to 199, with Danny McGuire's record 247 in his sights.

Centre: Peter Mata’utia, Warrington Wolves

The former Tiger was a real handful against his former club, scoring a try and making 118 metres from 20 carries.

Centre: Ricky Leutele, Huddersfield Giants

Leutele produced a powerful performance in Huddersfield's victory over Hull KR, taking 14 hit-ups for 133 metres.

Wing: Ken Sio, Salford Red Devils

Super League's top tryscorer in 2021 already has five this season after scoring four as Salford eased past Toulouse Olympique.

Stand-off: Brodie Croft , Salford Red Devils

The Australian pulled the strings for the Red Devils at the AJ Bell Stadium, laying on two tries and making 117 metres from just seven carries.

Scrum-half: George Williams, Warrington Wolves

The England playmaker scored a try, created two more and was a constant threat, running for 130 metres from 22 carries.

Prop: Robbie Mulhern, Warrington Wolves

The front-rower was "fantastic" according to Warrington head coach Daryl Powell after producing an energetic performance that saw him take 19 carries for 97 metres and score a try that got him off the nudie run as early as round two.

Hooker: Sam Powell, Wigan Warriors

Powell scored two tries against the Rhinos and was a tireless worker on the other side of the ball, topping the tackle count with 45.

Prop: Alex Walmsley, St Helens

The front-rower was virtually unstoppable in St Helens' big win at Hull FC, making an incredible 210 metres from 15 carries.

Second row: Sione Mata’utia, St Helens

The Saints forward joins his brother in the team of the week after scoring a try and running for 107 metres from 11 carries in a lively display.

Second row: Chris McQueen, Huddersfield Giants

The former England man scored a double at the John Smith's Stadium and worked as hard as anybody on the field, making 38 tackles in addition to 142 metres from 16 carries.

Loose forward: Ben Garcia, Catalans Dragons

The Dragons captain was a key figure as the French side got off the mark against Wakefield Trinity, scoring a try to go with his 30 tackles and 16 hit-ups for 115 metres.
