LeagueUnlimited Team of the Week - Round 15

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: Brett Stewart (Sea Eagles)
Two tries from the fill in skipper topped off a fantastic game. Always a threat in attack, the Prince of Brookvale looks in fine form.

Wing: Shaun Kenny-Dowall (Roosters)
While the game was won by the forward, Kenny-Dowall showed class to score two tries to overtake Bill Mullins as the second highest try-scorer in the 108 year history of the Sydney Roosters.

Centre: Anthony Milford (Broncos)
Set up two tries and was again a threat in the few attacking opportunities that the Broncos had.

Centre: Jack Bird (Sharks)
Scored 2 tries and is such a dangerous runner of the ball. Showed great composure under pressure from the Knights forward pack, firming for Rookie of the Year.

Wing: Jake Mamo (Knights)
Looked likely to spark something for the Knights late in the game and his mid air bat back for Carlos Tuimavave's try was something else!

Five-Eight: Moses Mbye (Bulldogs)
Playing the best game of his NRL career, the young five-eighth looks set for a big career.

Halfback: Shaun Johnson (Warriors)
Beat them on his own with a 20 point haul. Controlled the game with a smart kicking game in the second half whilst still turning on the individual brillaince.

Lock: Siosiua Taukeiaho (Roosters)
Started the match and produced big numbers for his coach. Running for close to 200 metres, the back rower continued his impressive season with another starring performance.

Second Row: Feleti Mateo (Sea Eagles)
Coming back from an injury-riddled season so far, the versatile back-rower showed incredible skills to set up Cherry-Evans before halftime, while his goal kicking performance will please coach Geoff Toovey in the absence of Jamie Lyon.

Second Row: Gavin Cooper (Cowboys)
Was powerful and gained big metres with his runs. Was solid with many tackled and added a try today after his hat-trick display in the previous game.

Prop: Isaac Liu (Roosters)
Laid the platform early. Ran hard shifting into the front row following the withdrawal of Sam Moa. In a game driven by forwards, Liu stood up with a big effort.

Hooker: Michael Ennis (Sharks)
Was rock solid in defence as per usual but his kicking game was crucial in the second half where he forced the Knights to continually start their set from deep in their own half.

Prop: Ben Matulino (Warriors)
A powerful display up front running for nearly 200 metres and proved almost impossible to bring to ground. Also created some handy second phase play with his offloads.

Interchange: Andrew McCullough, Johnathan Thurston, Bryce Cartwright, Luke Douglas
