LeagueUnlimited Team of the Week - Round 6

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)
Moylan stepped up in the absence of his halves. With Soward missing, Moylan took it upon himself to provide the attacking spark to get his team over the line.

Wing: Manu Vatuvei (Warriors)
Hard to go past the Beast for the two points. Big Manu picked up two tries, and despite a handling error in the second half, had a strong game. A great game to back up a big occasion.

Centre: Konrad Hurrell (Warriors)
Some devastating runs from the brick with legs. Not only that, we saw that Hurrell does actually know how to pass, as he threw an almost-no-look pass for his inside man to score in the first half.

Centre: James Roberts (Titans)
His speed is the key to his game and his three tries, and a try assist gave the Titans the points they needed to lock out the Eels.

Wing: Josh Mansour (Panthers)
Crossed for a double and was a constant threat running the ball down his left sideline all night

Five-Eight: Aidan Sezer (Titans)
Aidan Sezer lead the Titans around in attack, his kicking and passing games gave the Gold Coast a way through the Eels crumbling defence.

Halfback: Ben Hunt (Broncos)
Took control of the game right when the Broncos needed him. Took a massive gamble by kicking on the 3rd tackle when in good field position and was able to force a repeat set. Also scored the winning try in golden point.

Lock: Luke Douglas (Titans)
The Titans defence was key to their victory with no points scored in the second half. Douglas was part of that pack which held out the blue and gold attack.

Second Row: Jack de Belin (Dragons)
Off the bench, de Belin ran for nearly 150 metres, making 37 tackles and played a part in saving several Bulldogs tries.

Second Row: Sam Thaiday (Broncos)
Thaiday's role against the Roosters was obviously to get under JWH's skin, and he did a great job at that. Thaiday made some strong runs for his team to help them get out of their own half.

Prop: Jesse Bromwich (Storm)
Bromich was enormous for the Storm, particularly in the second half, where he battled with the opposition forward pack and came out on top, making a lot of metres.

Hooker: Cameron Smith (Storm)
Cameron Smith had yet another big game. He lead by example and was instrumental in the second half comeback. Smith has to be close to setting a record for most appearances in the Team of the Week.

Prop: Matthew Scott (Cowboys)
Showed why he is considered one of the best forwards in the game - taking hit-ups when his team needed them the most. Lead from the front. Ran 15 times for 160m - was an inspiration to his team.

Interchange: Johnathan Thurston, Shaun Johnson, George Burgess, Jake Trbojevic
