THE sun is shining and that means Salford star Nene Macdonald is only going to burn brighter.

The elegant Papua New Guinea centre has been one of Super League’s top performers this term.

He has made a massive 2,323m, is in the competition’s leading three players for offloads and has weighed in with seven tries.
