Okay this week there were a number of great performances so I want to highlight some stats before I pick my 3,2,1
Turbo - I get it, the inclination is to say he had a "quieter game" and reward some other players. Fact is he had 2 tries, 2 try assists, 175m metres, 4 tackle busts, a line break and 2 line break assists.........brilliant game that shouldn't be overlooked because he does it so often.
Saab - 2 tries, a try assist, 2 tackle busts, 2 line breaks and.....a forced drop out from his kick ha. Great game and his speed is such a weapon for us.
DCE - Great first half and really set the tone for us. 2 try assists, 2 line break assists. 254 kick metres and not an error in his game. Led us around well without his halves partner
Paseka - a monster 234 metres, with 87 post contact, really laid a platform. Add in 4 tackle busts and an offload
Olakau'atu - 164 metres, 82 post contact, 15 tackles with zero misses. Not a flashy performance tonight but executed perfectly
Schuster - Takes the flashy option over the smart one too often but a try, a try assist, 126 metres, 6 tackle busts, a linebreak assist an offload. Filled in brilliantly for Foz and what a talent we have.
Jake - His game of the year so far. A try, 173 metres, A tackle bust, a line break, a line break assist and 22 tackles for 0 misses
Taupau - Loved those 2 passes and his punch off the bench is fantastic. A big 200 metres with 71 post contact. A beaut try assist and just as pretty line break assist. 3 tackle busts, an offliad and 19 tackles.
So with much consideration I go
