Round 12 Team of the Week

Round 12's Team of the Week...

Castleford earned their third league win of the season to take down Hull FC on Friday Night. Corey Hall continued his strong start to life at the Jungle with two try contributions against the Black & Whites, while teammate Liam Horne also crossed for a try during a busy performance through the middle of the park. 

Josh Charnley added another try to his extensive record during Leigh's hard-fought victory against the Giants in Round 12. Charnley's teammate Kai O'Donnell was a defensive rock in the Leopards back row, too - he made 36 tackles, the most of any Leigh player on the night.

Elsewhere on Friday Night, Saints back rower Curtis Sironen was a thorn in the Rhinos side. The Australian scored and set up a try, as well as making five tackle busts and running for 123 metres. 

20-year-old George Delaney stepped up in the absence of several St Helens forwards in Round 12 - the youngster played a huge 75 minutes through the middle in which he made 135 metres from 16 carries, as well as 31 tackles with 0 misses.

On Saturday, the Wolves triumphed over Catalans in Perpignan. George Williams led by example for the Wire, having a hand in both their tries, which included a try for himself and England international winger Matty Ashton.

Ben Currie's move to the middle continues to pay dividends for the Wolves, too - Currie led the defensive charge for Warrington, making 44 tackles during a 71 minute stint.

A professional Harry Smith performance saw Wigan ease past Salford on Sunday. Smith effortlessly guided the Warriors around the park, setting up a try and ending the afternoon with 542 kick metres. Centre Adam Keighran had a busy afternoon too, crossing for the opening try of the game and kicking five goals from the boot.

Hull KR's Niall Evalds had a field day in the capital on Sunday - he scored a brace of tries and set up four more during an utterly dominant display against the Broncos. Front rower Sam Luckley had an afternoon to remember too, crossing for a well earned double during a busy 39 minute stint.
