Super League Awards round-up

Salford Red Devils cult hero Jackson Hastings was crowned the 2019 Steve Prescott Man of Steel at the Super League Awards last night.

The 23-year-old beat off competition from Blake Austin, Lachlan Coote, George Williams and Liam Watts to take home the top prize on an evening where stars from both the men’s and women’s game were celebrated.

Leeds Rhinos’ Australian scrum-half Courtney Hill became only the second-ever Woman of Steel, while there was triple joy for League Leaders and Grand Finalists St Helens, with Justin Holbrook, Tommy Makinson and Matty Lees all being recognised for their efforts this season.

Holbrook won Coach of the Year, Makinson was awarded as top try-scorer, while Lees received the Young Player of the Year award ahead of players including Wigan’s Morgan Smithies and Leeds’ Harry Newman.
