North, Waller, Wood on January Steffans Player of the Month shortlist

Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

The illustrious trio have stood out during the Saints’ unbeaten run in January, which included wins over Harlequins, the Ospreys, Castres and Newport-Gwent Dragons.


North scored some crucial tries in January against both Harlequins and the Ospreys, the latter capping a man of the match performance at the Liberty Stadium. The wing also proved to be a threatening strike runner in open play, too, averaging over 10 metres per carry and beating 13 defenders. North was also included in the shortlist for European Player of the Season and Wales’s Six Nations squad.


Waller’s January finished with two appearances for the England Saxons, his first call-up to a national squad at any level. The prop, who took home the Steffans Player of the Month award in November, has continued his strong form into 2014, making all his tackles in his three appearances and helping the Saints’ scrum to a 93 percent success rate on its own put-in, winning 15 penalties and nine balls against the head.


Wood took home the man of the match Waterford Crystal after his performance in the win over Castres, but the flanker has had a good all-round month, culminating in his selection for England in their opening Six Nations match against France. Wood won seven lineouts, carried the ball 15 times and missed just one of his 25 attempted tackles in his three games played during January.


Although the three players have been shortlisted by the club’s coaches, it is the supporters who decide who will take home the TW Steel watch that comes with the accolade of Player of the Month!
