Super League team of the week as Castleford Tigers and St Helens dominate

Fullback - Matt Dufty (Warrington Wolves) : Named man of the match and rightly so. He assisted two tries, made an astonishing 10 tackle busts and 144 metres.

Wing - Tommy Makinson (St Helens) : The England winger was excellent once again, scoring 24 points for Saints in their victory. He scored two tries, kicking eight goals, created another and made 112 metres.

Centre - Mahe Fonua (Castleford Tigers) : Solid outing from the two-time Dream Team inductee. Fonua ended the game with 139 metres, one offload, one clean break and four tackle busts.

Centre - Konrad Hurrell (St Helens) : Had a rough day against Salford a few weeks ago but was back to his best here. He scored two tries and ended with an assist too. Beyond that, he

Wing - Bureta Faraimo (Castleford Tigers) : Some stats from the former Hull FC man, who made 162 metres from 13 carries for his side in the win over Catalans Dragons.

Stand-off - Jacob Miller (Wakefield Trinity) : A fine performance from the Trinity captain. He scored one and assisted another but also took an impressive 25 carries, showing his running threat on a fine afternoon for the club.

Scrum-half - Richie Myler (Leeds Rhinos) : Myler is in great form. He scored another two tries here and is taking on a lot of responsibility during games.

Prop - Alex Walmsley (St Helens) : Making an incredible 206 metres, the England international averaged more than ten metres per carry in the big win over Hull FC. A sublime display

Hooker - Andy Ackers (Salford Red Devils) : Ackers didn't get any direct assists but his intelligence and deception out of the ruck launched several attacks for the Reds. He added 30 tackles and made 15 dummy runs, which made 103 metres for his team.

Prop - Jai Whitbread (Wakefield Trinity) : Emerging as an unsung signing of the season contender. He smashed his way through two men for a key score ad backed that up with 22 carries and 98 metres.

Second-row - Kallum Watkins (Salford Red Devils) : Reinvented in the pack, Watkins is playing some fantastic rugby right now. Bagging 156 metres for his team, he finished a try well and made 30 tackles.

Second-row - Morgan Gannon (Leeds Rhinos) : He's 18. Frightening. Gannon scored two crucial tries to give Leeds a big victory, one being a neat finish on the left and then a 50-metre breakaway score. Named man of the match.

Loose forward - Joe Westerman (Castleford Tigers) : An assist for Westerman, who is still going strong for the Tigers. He also made 37 tackles, the most for the Tigers in the win over Catalans.
