Gold Coast Titans - Luke Bailey
For the second week in a row, Bailey takes out th etitans Stats man of the round, thanks to his commanding performance against the desperate Brisbane Broncos last Friday night.
The 'Bull' was tireless in defence for the smaller Titans pack, combining his 41 tackles with 13 hit-ups (101 metres) allowing the NRL new boys to get on top of their more renowned, bigger opponents.
Bailey's outstanding early season form saw him become the Titans innaugral international representative.
Manly Sea-Eagles - Brent Kite
Like Bailey, Kite's early season form has been rewarded by Test selectors with an ANZAC Test berth on Friday night. The damaging prop forward was at his rampaging best last Saturday night against the imposing Bulldogs forward pack, making 19 hit-ups for a whopping 182 metres gained, whilst also contributing 25 tackles in defene.
Saturday nights match was always going to be a showdown between Kite and Mark O'Meley for the last prop position in the Test team, with the Manly forward staking his claim by easily out performing the whole representative contingent of the Bulldogs pack.
Melbourne Storm- Dallas Johnson
The unsung hero of the star studded Melbourne Storm team, Johnson continually goes unnoticed with his hard work in matches. In an undefeated team that is still yet to find their best form, the rugged lock forward made 42 tackles against a desperate St George-Illawarra side, while he also completed the hard yards up the middle with his 13 hit-ups contributing 90 metres gained.
Newcastle Knights - Kurt Gidley
The Novacastrian utility was easily the difference in the Knights close victory over the Rabbitohs last Sunday, with the Knights fullback personal haul of 11 points getting the Knights home in a thriller.
The dazzling fullback was at his dynamic best, with his match high of 21 hit-ups for 171 metres gained reminding NSW selectors of his utility credentials.
