LeagueUnlimited Team of the Week - Round 2

The LeagueUnlimited Team of the Week is back again in 2015. Chosen by our Live Updaters, this team puts together the best performances of the Round, and builds a team worthy of taking on any in the NRL.


Fullback: Matt Moylan (Panthers)
An absolute exhibition by the Panthers fullback who auditioned his name for the NSW fullback spot with an outstanding all round game. Moylan set up three tries and ran for over 200 metres.

Wing: Kevin Naiqama (Tigers)
Naiqama helped keep the Tigers comfortable in the second half - he was absolutely dominating the aerial battle vs Nabuli, and picked up a try for his troubles.

Centre: Justin Hodges (Broncos)
Hodges just kept turning up with the right play all night in both attack and defence. Together with Jack Reed, the Broncos have a formidable defensive centre pairing.

Centre: Jamal Idris (Panthers)
Idris scored a triple against the Titans, and set up one more in an impressive performance. None of his metres came easy, but Idris still managed three line breaks.

Wing: James Tedesco (Tigers)
Tedesco was fantastic against the Dragons, setting up two tries and scoring one of his own. He combined nicely with his halves pairing to keep the Dragons defence guessing.

Five-Eight: Moses Mybe (Bulldogs)
Mbye's kicking game was on song against the Eels, despite being the second string five-eighth option for the bulldogs. Mbye was also heavily targeted in defence, being forced to make almost 30 tackles.

Halfback: Daly Cherry-Evans (Sea Eagles)
This bloke had a hand in every Manly try, and excelled despite off-field adversity leading into the game. Also had to perform without his halves partner Kieran Foran.

Lock: Paul Gallen (Sharks)
An amazing performance from Paul Gallen this week, outdoing even his own usually outstanding numbers. Gallen ran for almost 300 metres, far and away the best in his side, as well as making 40 tackles.

Second Row: Tony Williams (Bulldogs)
Round 2 saw some strong powerful running from the big man, as well as some nice touches which earned the Bulldogs repeat sets early in the game.

Second Row: Glenn Stewart (Rabbitohs)
Stewart was involved in eerything, both attack and defence versus the Roosters. Despite playing like an extra halfback at times, he can still run and tackle like a forward, on his way to 150 metres and 50 tackles.

Prop: Matt Scott (Cowboys)
Despite his side going down against the Knights, Matt Scott was a pillar of strength. Running for over 150 metres, and making 30 tackles, Scott helped keep his side in the game.

Hooker: Ben Hunt (Broncos)
Hunt will be playing out of position in the LeagueUnlimited Team of the Week, as there was a number of quality halves putting their hands up in Round 2, but not many hookers. Hunt came up with the big plays at the right times, and had a major hand in both of his team's tries.

Prop: George Burgess (Rabbitohs)
George Burgess was instrumental in the Rabbitohs victory. He drew attention from multiple defenders every time he touched the ball, scored a try, and was unlucky to miss out on another. Has stepped up nicely in the absence of his brothers.

Interchange: Luke Keary (Rabbitohs), Danny Wicks (Eels), Ben Matulino (Warriors), Joseph Leilua (Knights)
