Warrington Wolves and Salford Red Devils stars joint-top of Man of Steel as leaderboard goes dark

Salford Red Devils half-back Marc Sneyd and Warrington Wolves full0back Matt Dufty are joint-top of the Man of Steel rankings – as the list now officially goes dark for the rest of the season.

Here, Love Rugby League will provide a weekly update to the Steve Prescott Man of Steel ranking as and when the points awarded are announced following a round of matches. And incredibly, eight players from eight different clubs sit inside the top eight.

How does the voting system work? Well, a panel of former players determine the winner of the Man of Steel, with points being awarded to the best performing players after each game – normally three points for the man of the match, two points for the runner-up and one point for the third best player.
