Player of the Week: Round 20

Sorry about the late post everyone, I blame Splendour recovery for my DT disorganisation, but better late than never so here goes...

As the NRL season creeps ever closer to finals and the inevitable end of the season, DT'ers are putting in place the last minute plans for the pointy end of their season as they jostle for a top 8 league finish to make finals for bragging rights amongst their buddies or newly met random league mates. For all those of us struggling for trades it will be a push right to the finish.

This DT'er is one that has been feeling the pain, having cruised into the top 8 and being afforded the luxury of carrying Paul 'Scrotum Grabber' Gallen for weeks on the bench, it's make or break time to push through a few last blockbuster trades to get the team firing for finals. Hefty competition in the league will accept nothing less.
We've been seeing some massive performances from some centres and backs that are flat out refusing to bow out without a fight and although lacking the absolutely massive performances of the last 2 weeks, this week is impressive nonetheless.

1. Scott Prince
Giving everyone a preview of what they have to look forward to come finals time, the struggling Broncos were delivered defeat at the hands of Prince who has stepped up massively after a few low key games. Coming off the back of 26 & 39 point performances in the last 2 weeks he absolutely exploded this week setting up his teammates 4 times and even running one in himself, finishing up with 14 points, the Broncos never stood a chance.

And the stat tally goes like this..

Tries - 1
Try Assists - 4
Conversions - 5
Tackles - 16
Line Break Assists - 3
Runs - 5

Total points: 110

2. Chase Stanley
The kid can play the game.
At only 20 years old, Chase 'Smokin' Stanley lit up the field on Sunday night against the Warriors, playing in only his 5th first grade game this season he showed everyone what he is capable of and no doubt getting the Storm excited for next season when he switches clubs.

Coming off the back of his last two games, giving an 82 point performance in Round 18 and a 76 point performance in Round 12 the big 100kg centre has dropped a massive 96 points, loves DT!

Tries - 1
Try Assists - 1
Tackles - 25
Offloads - 3
Line Breaks - 2
Runs – 11

Total Points - 95

3. Richard Fa'aoso

This big Tongan native has been a consistent performer over the season for the 1.8% of DT'ers who have him in
their team averaging around 53 points. He obviously decided it might be a good time to poke his head into NRL DT Talk's players of the week and exploded against the Sea Eagles this week dropping 94!


Tries - 1
Try assists - 1
Tackles - 18
Offloads - 3
Line Breaks - 1
Line Break Assists - 1
Runs - 15

Total points - 94


And that's a wrap, good luck in the second last league game of the year!
