Super League team of the week as three Leeds Rhinos stars make Magic Weekend cut

Will Hopoate (St Helens) - The St Helens fullback made more metres than any other player in the competition at Magic Weekend after registering an impressive 243. He also contributed one assist.

Bevan French (Wigan Warriors) - Despite being on the lost side, French was incredible. Two tries and one assist saw him light up Magic Weekend and he added 160 metres for good measure.

Liam Sutcliffe (Leeds Rhinos) - The centre is really finding some form. Impressive last week against Hull FC he was superb at Magic Weekend, scoring one try and creating another two.

Jake Wardle (Warrington Wolves) - He's wasted no time slotting in at his new club and had a blinder here. He scored a try, made two clean breaks and 173 metres. That's some going.

Matty Russell (Toulouse Olympique) - The Scotland international scored two crucial tries for his team and was effective as ever in back play, making 161 metres.

Corey Norman (Toulouse Olympique) - The Australian has had a big impact on Toulouse since his arrival and was influential in this game. He created one and had a hand in several others.

Luke Gale (Hull FC) - The veteran halfback produced his best performance in a Hull FC shirt by some distance here. A fantastic kicking game backed up by a controlled performance.

Ethan Havard (Wigan Warriors) - The young Wigan Warriors prop didn't deserve to be on the losing side. He made 42 tackles and made 131 metres, which is some going in a game of such intensity.

Danny Levi (Huddersfield Giants) - What a signing he's proven to be. Another two assists here as well as 34 tackles, the most in the Giants team.

Mikolaj Oledzki (Leeds Rhinos) - Another dominant display by the England international. He made 35 tackles, missing none, and made 115 metres

Joe Batchelor (St Helens) - An exceptional display. The back-rower assisted himself for a superb solo try and added another assist for good measure. He also made 35 tackles and 131 metres.

Matty Nicholson (Warrington Wolves) - What a dream debut! In just his second Super League appearance and his first since moving to the Wire from Wigan Warriors, the back-rower was named man of the match after scoring early on.

Cameron Smith (Leeds Rhinos) - Clearly, he's set to be a big part of what Leeds do under Smith. He created one try here but was good carrying the ball too, running for 140 metres.
