Barrie McDermott hails Lewis Tierney in his Super League round-up

Barrie McDermott provides Sky Sports a round-up of the weekend's Super League action with a number of top drawer performances.

Leeds defeat Castleford

The Rhinos blooded Thomas Minns who came into the side and scored the first try of the game. The night belonged to Jimmy Keinhorst though. The young centre on the right scored a hat-trick and he's having a good time. It was a good night for the Rhinos, good attendance and a great atmosphere. Read the match report

Hull KR edge Giants

This was another result I didn't expect. Hull are a powerful side and after Travis Burns joined under a suspension cloud he's really starting to show his game. They owed this result to their big men in the middle. It allowed them to play fast but Huddersfield will be disappointed. They took Saints to task on Monday and they would have felt they had the wind in their sails. But not to carry on - their coach will be not be happy. Read the match report

Race for top eight

We're into the final third of the season and I really didn't think Wigan would be that far ahead. Saints are back into the top eight and I think they they may have timed their run to perfection. They've had a lot of players missing and to get them back fit and health and highly motivated, who's to say they won't go all the way and this after everybody had written them off. With Wigan in a very strong position and with their momentum I think they'll be the ones to take that leaders shield.
