LU Team of the Week - NRL Round 4

As chosen by our Live Updaters, we reveal our best 17 of the fourth round of the 2016 NRL Season, together with a full list of LeagueUnlimited.com Player of the Year points.


Fullback - Ben Barba (Sharks)
That was some vintage form from the 2012 Dally M winner. A scintillating try, brilliant in defence and plenty of metres in Cronulla's gritty win over the Storm on Monday night.

Wing - Shaun Kenny-Dowall (Roosters) and Jason Nightingale (Dragons)
In his 200th game, Kenny-Dowall tried his bum off. He was involved in everything, taking hitups to relieve pressure on his forwards, and scoring two tries in his side's loss to Manly. After receiving 95% of Jamie Soward's downtown kicks (and successfully taking them 100% of the time), Nightingale was always doing his part for the team and wouldn't give up until that final siren sounded as the Dragons downed Penrith.

Centres - Josh Morris (Bulldogs) and James Roberts (Broncos)
In his 200th game Morris scored a double and carried Canterbury up field with 149 metres for the game. Coming up with several big plays throughout, former Titan Roberts showed his class to put the Broncos in a winning position.

Halves - Anthony Milford (Broncos) and Moses Mbye (Bulldogs)
Milford's unforgettable match-winning field goal was just one in a string of highlights for the Broncos five-eighth, while Mbye's stunning form for Canterbury continued in their trouncing of the Bunnies.

Front Rowers - James Graham (Bulldogs) and Ryan James (Titans)
The tireless Bulldogs' captain made a game high 23 runs and 200 metres. Completely took the Rabbitohs forward pack out of the game. Ryan James was dominant for the Titans and was instrumental in their fightback to claim victory from Canberra.

Hooker - Michael Ennis (Sharks)
Superb effort in his 251st match, one miskick in an otherwise fine performances from the gritty hooker.

Second Rowers - Simon Mannering (Warriors) and Wade Graham (Sharks)
It's taken several weeks but Mannering is slowly casting off those heavy captain chains and had a fantastic performance for the home side in their drubbing of Newcastle, topping his side's tackle count. Graham was brutal in defence and destructive up the middle, exposing the Storm's soft underbelly until apparently losing a tooth in an ugly hit in the 2nd half.

Lock - Siosiua Taukeiaho (Roosters)
Another shining light in a losing side, SST had his side in prime position to claim their first win of the season, covering a massive 140 metres for the Roosters and even bagging a penalty goal for his troubles.

Interchange
Michael Gordon (Eels)
Jamie Lyon (Sea Eagles)
Josh Dugan (Dragons)
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (Warriors)

Honourable mentions: Junior Paulo (Eels), Josh Hodgson (Raiders), Michael Morgan (Cowboys), Josh Mansour (Panthers), Solomone Kata (Warriors)
