South Sydney Rabbitohs - David Fa'alogo
The big Kiwi enforcer scored one try and was controversially denied his second through a video referee error, and his early season form has been rewarded with a bench spot in tonight's ANZAC Test.
Fa'alogo was a constant menace on the fringes to the Knights defence, with his 17 hit-ups for 126 metres gained keeping the Knights forwards working overtime to wrap up his dangerous one armed off load. Fa'alogo also completed 27 tackles to cap off a stong all round game.
St George-Illawarra Dragons - Ben Creagh
One of the more under-rated lock forwards in the competitions, the gangly, red head has been by far the best Dragond forward all season.
Creagh not only provides solid stats week in, week out (27 tackles, 19 hit-ups / 144m), but he also does alot of the Dragons clean up work when breaks are made or short kicks are put in. In a well below par Dragons forward outfit thus far this season, Creagh's tireless work shines like a beacon!
Sydney Roosters - Danny Nutley
Much maligned for his age and lack of pace, the nuggety Roosters front rower proved their is nothing wrong with his workrate, especially against the ramapant Raiders last Monday night.
Nutley was the stand out in a Roosters pack on the back foot for much of the night, with his 35 tackles complimenting his 131 metres gained from 17 hit-ups. Roosters coach Chris Anderson will persist with Nutley if he continues to complete those stats for the remainder of the season.
Wests Tigers - Taniela Tuiaki
The Wests Tigers utility seems to be relishing the mid game move off the wing and into the backrow, as Tuiaki has been one of the joint ventures most consistent stats men of the season so far.
Tigers coach Tim Sheens can afford the luxury of carrying veteran winger Jason Moodie on the bench into games, as the powerfully built Tuiaki has both the size and skill to slot into the Tigers mobile backrow at the drop of a hat. Tuiaki was his consitent but under rated self last round against the Sharks, with his 11 hit-ups netting 126 metres gained, whilst also contributing 23 tackles when moved in field later in the match.
