Widnes Vikings star Rhys Hanbury is still leading this season’s Albert Goldthorpe Medal table after eight rounds of the Super League competition, following the points allocations for Easter Monday’s Round 8 matches.
Hanbury received one point for his performance for the Vikings against St Helens, and he is now on 15 points, two points ahead of his nearest challengers, Chris Sandow of Warrington Wolves and Luke Walsh of St Helens, who received two points and three points respectively for their performances on Easter Monday. Hanbury already has two points for his Round 11 game, which was played against Salford Red Devils in February.
Coming up strongly on the rails, however, is the Catalans Dragons star Todd Carney, who received three points for his performance against Castleford Tigers and who now lies in fourth place with eleven points.
Other players who scored three points on Easter Monday were Wigan’s Josh Charnley against Hull KR, Wakefield’s Tom Johnstone against Leeds Rhinos, Hull FC’s Marc Sneyd for his performance against Warrington Wolves, and Huddersfield’s Ukuma Ta’ai for his performance against Salford Red Devils.
The Easter Monday points allocations are set out below, and the full Albert Goldthorpe Medal table current standings are also shown below. So far this season 91 Super League players have scored Albert Goldthorpe Medal points.
