WOLVES scrum-half Chris Sandow has won the First Utility Super League Player of the Month award for the second month in succession, the first player in history to do so.

The former Parramatta Eels man fought off competition from the likes of Widnes full-back Rhys Hanbury and Wakefield winger Tom Johnstone to scoop the award for March.

Hull FC’s Jamie Shaul and Catalan Dragons half-back Todd Carney made up the list of nominees, but Sandow proved once again to be ahead of the pack.

The Australian continued his sparkling start to the season by notching five trys and ten assists in just five Super League games last month.

Sandow expressed his pride at winning the award again but stressed there was always room for improvement.

"I’m delighted to pick up this award, it means a lot to have the backing of the supporters and the judging panel. It was a shortlist stacked with talent so I’d like to say a special thank you to all the fans who voted for me," he said.

"To win it twice, back-to-back, is something I really am proud of.

"We’ve made a good start to the season, and while there is always room for improvement as a team and an individual, this award proves that I’m surrounded by a strong group of lads who help each other play their hardest, week in, week out.”

Another one thanks to my team mates couldn't of got two months of this without you guys 🙌🏾 @wolvesrl pic.twitter.com/IAg73jWIfA — Chris Sandow (@Sandow_7) April 6, 2016
