Players of the Week: Round 17

Whoa whoa whoa!! One or two decent performances this week or what?! I checked in on my score on the Monday and thought I would definitely have bragging rights in the league this week and get my mug up as DT'er of the week after massive performances from Laffranchi, Price et al... Then to my dismay I find out not only am I losing my league game in which the Yung Legends also have all my star performers, but everyone else in the league has busted out massive scores!! Ended up 4th overall which is not too shabby, but wasnt enough to take out the league game putting the final 8 position in jeopardy, will be a nailbiter of a finish.. Anyway I digress, lets look at some of our star performances this week!

1. Jamie Soward

"Whatever guys, I'm so rad I can do this with my eyes closed..."

Soward LOVES Dream team!

Try this for a stat sheet: 2 tries, 2 try assists, 5 conversions, 10 tackles, 4 offloads, 1 linebreak, 2 linebreak assists & 16 runs for 197m = 142 points! Slight improvement over his 23 last week...

Instrumental in the drubbing dealt out to the Roosters, Soward had the razzle-dazzle the Dragons needed as they crossed the line time and time again.


2. Anthony Laffranchi

"Move bitch, get out the way, get out the way, bitch get out the way.." No seriously, move.

Maybe Laffranchi logged in to fantasy last week and saw that his value had dropped by $87k over the course of the season. Taking it as a personal affront, he absolutely exploded this week.

Sneaking over the line for try time in the 24th minute, 1 try assist, 42 tackles, 2 offloads, 2 line breaks, 22 runs for 149m = 132 points!
Unfortunately his valiant effort wasnt enough to sneak the Titans ahead of the Raiders however he did manage to increase his value by $10k, I'm sure that will keep him happy!

3. Craig Fitzgibbon

Rounding out our list this week is a stellar performance from the Roosters captain. Responsible for all the points on the board is a Mr Craig Fitzgibbon aka the one in our top 3 that is not quite confident enough to play with his eyes closed.
Try-time? - Check, x2
Convert his own goals? No problems
Tackles - 38
Linebreaks - 2
Runs - 19 for 134m.

About the only thing that Fitzgibbon didnt accomplish was victory over the Dragons, but then Soward can play with his eyes closed so thats not really a surprise is it...

Until next week.
