The Steve Prescott Man of Steel results are in and have been published for Round 7 of the 2019 Super League season. Find out who took maximum points below...
The 2019 Betfred Super League Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel Award will be chosen by a panel consisting of 21 former players and coaches including seven previous winners of Man of Steel, and boasting a combined total of 46 Championship or Grand Final wins, 41 Challenge Cup winners' medals.
A member of the panel will watch each Betfred Super League game and award points to the three outstanding players: three points for their chosen man of the match, two points for the runner-up, and one point for the third-ranked player.
The scores will be made public every week, until Round 22 in mid-July. After that, the poll will be hidden until the Awards Ceremony in October.

3pts - Josh Griffin
2pts - Danny Houghton
1pt - Alex Walker
Panellists Comments: Griffin; Josh scored two tries and set up another. He ran strong and sound when moved to a fullback position.
Houghton; played the full 80 minutes and was pivotal in organising their 'going forward'. He ended the game away from dummy half, organising general play like a half back taking the pressure off a limping Albert Kelly.
Walker; A young and exciting player who was solid all day and showed maturity beyond his years. Solid under the high ball and in defence. Alex came on to a great ball and led with London try in the second half.
3pts - George Williams
2pts - Josh Jones
