Chris Hankinson

Um-

I think we can say from Saturday night it won't be Chris Hankinson.

No fault of his own.

No.

I think he brings it really well.

The other person in there, that blows my mind is Chris Hankinson.

I think he's been phenomenal this year.

I've played a lot of back row, as you know.

yeah you want to get through that first set and we're going to done that and turn Leeds over on their own 20 so good start from that point of view now defence don't give them a penalty or anything like that this is Jack Bird up to

the 30 two tackles gone now Chris Hankinson former Wigan Warriors player a Wigan lad as well and this is Cooper Jenkins brought down on the 40 Gerard O'Connor in at dummy half now the bleach blonde of Mikolaj Alicki and he gets nowhere good defence Wiggum last tackle just shy of halfway comes back to Jake Connor tests Austin Daniel he's up to it gathers that in on the ten and runs this back that'll do him

the world of good lead ten point the tactics of having everyone offside at kicks they did that last year against Wigan admittedly it was a filthy night of rain last year

now here comes Adam Kieran up through the middle been in tremendous form now this is Partington gets it over half way now O'Neill Ellis, now Thompson, up through the middle, last tackle, 35 metres out, comes to Smith on the left-hand side, puts up the high kick, testing Ryan Hall again, and it's batted

That is a huge blow, isn't it? Yeah, that is.

He is limped off.

I think Chris Hankinson's gone to full-back.

Hankinson is a utility man.

Yeah.

those two i mean i've had quite a lot of people just looking at the thing saying james mcdonald which again i understand really somebody said chris hankinson and like i kind of understand it i can see where they're coming from um there aren't too many i think most of them i mean some would argue field over miller some would fine Again, it all depends on what you judge it on.

Are you bothered about how many games they've missed? You think

you have to be? I think

He has also been picked on his five-round consistency.

Alongside him, keeping his place month on month, is Chris Hankinson of Leeds Rhinos.

Four tries, one try assist, 118 tackles, 12 tackle balls, 58 carries for 450 metres.

He's winning two Team of the Weeks.

Full-back Jay Field on the wing, we've just mentioned him, Paul Ulberg.

On the other wing, Liam Marshall, of course, in great try-scoring form against the reserves of KR, but he has to be in there.

uh corey hall for trinity and ash handley of lee's rhinos they take the center spot just mentioned toby sexton he's at standoff jake connor is at uh scrum half in the front row will be matthew lodge of the rhinos zach wolford and why wolford i'll come back to that in a minute tristan powell of what does feel about a great game uh against the leopards roger smith uh he's there for the dragons again that might surprise some people but roger smith gets the vote this week in second row alongside chris hankinson and harry rushton again is there at loose forward.

So why did I say I'll come back to it? Well, look, two into one doesn't go.

I thought it was probably the best team they've put on field for a little bit as well, and they were pretty physical to start the game.

We kept our patience, didn't we, and then came up with that lovely work move for Chris Hankinson to pop up there on the end.

That was clearly one off the training ground that came off for us.

Yeah, I think he's not going to miss an opportunity to run hard.
