Wednesday 6 April 2016 16:59, UK
Warrington Wolves stand-off Chris Sandow has become the first player to win back-to-back First Utility Super League player of the month awards.
The 27-year-old Australian, who joined the Wolves from Parramatta Eels last summer, made a flying start to his first full season in Super League which saw him rewarded with the February award.
And he continued to impress during March, playing a key role in lifting Warrington to the top of the table.
"It's a real privilege," said Sandow after collecting the March award. "But it goes back to my team-mates - they are doing the hard yards for me, I am just playing off the back of that.
"It has been a fantastic two months. It goes back here at training and we are turning up each week and doing the little things right."

Sandow will, however, be unable to complete the hat-trick in April as he is now sidelined with a hamstring injury.
He still does not know how long he will be absent for but he intends to be back in contention for the honour in May.
"I'll give someone a chance next month and I'll get it back a month later!" said Sandow.
"Things are looking really well, we've got a great physio here with Ben Stirling and I'm really looking forward to working with him and hopefully I'll get back sooner.
"I'm not quite sure how long I will be out for, it's up to Stirlo - it's in his hands and he's got to work his magic."
