Player of the Week: Round 21

Geez, what a weekend! Good viewing for the fans out there, some nail biters, some massive scores and of course, some MASSIVE DT scores with Watmough taking out what I think may be the highest DT score this season (unless anyone can think of any higher?)!

1. Anthony Watmough
Manly were dragging the chain on Monday night as the Tigers pulled ahead with a solid lead of 18-0 at half time. I dont know what Des Hasler had to say to the boys in the locker room but a different team stepped out. Tony Williams got the ball rolling and then Watmough did everything he could to get Manly back in the game crossing the line twice and knocking up a ridiculous stat sheet along the way. Unfortunately there's only so much one man can do and a sneaky field goal by Robbie Farah in the 63rd minute kept the Tigers ahead..

Tries - 2
Line Breaks - 4
Tackles - 27
Offloads - 7!!
Runs - 23 for 269m!!

Total points - 150!

2. Craig Fitzgibbon
Another solid performance sees the mighty Roosters captain back only a few short rounds after busting out his 129! Getting the ball rolling against the Knights in the 9th minute, he took a backseat after that, content to boot through 5 from 5 of his teammates tries and enjoy watching the tantalisingly sweet taste of victory slip away from Gidley and the rest of the Newcastle side..

Tries - 1
Goals - 5
Tackles - 28
Offloads - 1
Line Breaks - 1
Runs - 20

Total points - 112




3. Terry Campese
Welcome Campo! As a fan of the Green Machine welcoming Campo on his debut to players of the week is some small comfort considering we wont be making the finals this year! In his first 100+ point performance since Round 1, Campo came storming back in the Raiders thrashing of the Broncos (did I hear their biggest defeat ever?!) on Saturday night. Largely spurred on by the huge scoreline Campo punched through 8/10 goals, loving it!

Try Assists - 3
Goals - 8
Tackles - 30
Offloads - 2
Line Break Assists - 2
Runs - 5

Total points - 110


Last week of league games, few crunch games out there for everyone I'm sure, good luck in the final week and hopefully you get to see more of the finals than the Raiders! (Unlike Yung Legends who are sure to get knocked out this week)

Until next week..
