Our very own Tommy Makinson, sponsored by Beaufort Financial, has been voted Super League's May Player of the Month.
Makinson is the first recipient from Saints to win the award this season thanks to his dominant performances across the month of May.
With only two rounds of Betfred Super League action taking place last month, Makinson was unanimously chosen as the competitions stand-out player. The experienced winger crossed for three tries, made three clean breaks and ran for a huge 322 metres during Rounds 12 & 13.
Makinson began the month with a two-try performance against Hull FC before producing a Man of the Match display against Warrington Wolves in Round 13.

His effort during that game was personified by a last-ditch, try-saving tackle in the dying seconds to ensure Saints left the Halliwell Jones Stadium with two competition points.
Makinson’s performances have helped the Saints solidify their position at the top of the Betfred Super League table as they go in search of an unprecedented fourth consecutive Super League title.
On winning the award, Makinson explained: “I’m delighted to win the Player of the month award for May. I’ve been pleased with my form personally but I can’t perform without the help of my teammates. So this award is a credit to the team.”
