Zak Hardaker back with a bang as he claims maximum Man of Steel points

Wigan Warriors full-back Zak Hardaker has claimed maximum Man of Steel points for his performance in his comeback outing against Salford Red Devils.

Hardaker made his first appearance in 10 weeks off the bench and played a starring role in Wigan’s 16-6 win at the DW Stadium.

Reigning Man of Steel Paul McShane was picked out as the most influential player in Castleford Tigers’ victory over Leeds Rhinos, while Shaun Kenny-Dowall also claimed maximum points for his captain’s performance in Hull KR’s thrilling win at Leigh Centurions.

Mark Percival picked up three points for his impressive display in St Helens’ victory over Catalans Dragons, while Sam Wood was the man of the match as Huddersfield Giants beat Wakefield Trinity.

Sam Tomkins did not feature against Saints but remains out in front with Jordan Abdull currently sidelined through injury and Jonny Lomax missing out on points again in round 18.
