Martyn Sadler, the editor of Rugby League Express, reveals which players earned Game Star awards from our reporters in the weekend’s Super League games.
Hull Kingston Rovers 22 Huddersfield Giants 26 – Danny Brough
Reporter: Pete Stephenson
“It wasn’t his best game, but Danny Brough did enough at crucial points of the game to ensure his side came away with the spoils after a long drought in Humberside.”

“Kevin Brown was unstoppable, almost faultless in both attack and defence.”
Castleford Tigers 14 Salford Red Devils 10 – Niall Evalds

Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 20 Hull FC 20 – Jamie Shaul
