Trueman will be key if the Tigers are to come away with the win this weekend, that’s for sure.Īustin, the man who has had everyone talking. This week, they face a completely different prospect in one of the two Grand Final favourites, Warrington. Last week, he failed to help his side overcome a dogged Wigan outfit, but the conditions certainly played a part in all of that. His form has been so consistently high, it is hard to believe that he is just 20 years of age. Trueman made his breakthrough in 2018 and to use a cliche, hasn’t looked back since. Two top half-backs, but only one can walk away the victor… Who will be the all important factor in their quests for a winning result this weekend? Last week’s loss against Hull was one that got away for his side and Wood will be as determined as anyone to make a statement this weekend. Able to play as a hooker and a half, his flexibility is one of the many reasons Wakefield are aiming high in 2019. Wood has been quality for Trinity this year, with 11 appearances and 4 tries to his name. Last week, however, will be one the Giants will want to forget, but could this defeat to Warrington prove to be the right motivation they need to overturn Wakefield this weekend? Leeming has been a solid operator in the middle for Huddersfield this year, helping them to some memorable victories. Two hookers, two teams wanting to return to winning ways… Aside from nightmares of a stampeding Alex Walmsley, the only thing Tomkins will be thinking about is getting the win this weekend. We all know on his day, and certainly last season, he can be one of the best full-backs in the league – but consistency is becoming harder to reach for him and his side in 2019. A St Helens side led by their incredible youngsters humbled the Dragons and Tomkins more than anyone will want to right the many wrongs that surfaced in that game. Tomkins has experienced a mixed start to life in the south of France, last week being one week to forget. Another top game from him this week should see his side begin to cement themselves as third in the table. Ever since he moved to FC, he has not looked back and continues to impress the Hull faithful. Last week against Wakefield, he did just that and put in a brilliant performance for Hull FC. One had a blinder last week, the other not so much…Ĭonnor is a classy operator in the halves and can swiftly deliver that killer blow to win a game. He will be looking to make this week’s game another win for Leeds after they edged past Hull KR last time out.įull-backs often determine these types of games, so who earns the spoils in this one? Lolohea has been around the block in the NRL and although he hasn’t hit it off just yet with the Rhinos, we can’t ignore his ability to tear defences apart. Lolohea is a key cog in the Leeds machine. As such, last week saw him become Salford’s all time top try scorer in the Super League era, which, given the top quality players that have donned the Red Devils shirt in the top-flight, is quite the accomplishment. This contest is between two of the competition’s brightest full-backs.Įvalds has been a revelation for Salford this season, putting in top quality performances week in, week out. Will the Warriors continue their winning streak, or can the Broncos end their losing run and make it two from two against the 2018 Super League champions? There is no doubting his skill and quality, with his form being one of the reasons why the Broncos have coped so well since the departure Jarrod Sammut. Jordan Abdull has been operating in a similar fashion of late, working hard from the bench as an alternative option. His impact off the bench was nothing short of impressive and come Thursday evening, the same will be needed to halt any chances of a second upset against London. Wigan hooker Powell put in a classy performance against Castleford last week in a low scoring encounter, earning himself three Steve Prescott Man of Steel points along with scoring the only try of the game.
This battle will see two quality utilities come head-to-head. Alex Yoxall has taken a look at the key battle to keep an eye out for in all six Super League games this weekend…
