Menzie Yere shines again.

Kumuls powerhouse Menzie Yere produced another show-stopping performance in the UK last week, as he plundered another hat-trick in the Sheffield Eagles' 40-12 win over Batley Bulldogs.

The 31-year-old - who also crashed over for four tries the previous week - was again unstoppable near the try-line as the Eagles consolidated third place in the second tier championship with a resounding victory. 

Yere is already the Eagles' all-time record try-scorer and this recent seven-try haul has taken his tally to 153 from 195 games.

Dion Aiye was also amongst the try-scorers for Whitehaven as the Cumbrians recovered from 0-12 down to defeat Hunslet 28-12 with Kumuls team-mate Jessie Joe Parker also playing his part in the victory.

Elsewhere in the division, Makali Aizue's Dewsbury Rams were below their best as they were surprisingly held to a 20-20 draw at home to Workington.

Meanwhile, Paul Aiton's Leeds Rhinos remain top of the Super League after a predictable 58-26 victory over basement club Wakefield Wildcats who had new, incoming coach, NRL veteran Brian Smith, watching from the stands.

In the third tier, Stanley Gene's Newcastle Thunder continues to feel the absence of injured Kumuls trio Mark Mexico, Jason Tali and Charlie Wabo.

They lost 44-32 to Swinton Lions.
