NRL TEAMS - 2024 Round 4
2 days ago | LeagueUnlimited Media
League Wrap: Round 23, 12-14 August 2005 The competition in this year?s Leagueunlimited Player Awards is hotting up with last year?s winner Matt Orford joining Cowboys? full back Matt Bowen at the top of the leader board. The Storm half back scored two points on the weekend to move into equal first position on 22 points overall.
But a real threat is coming from Knights? play maker Andrew Johns who has moved up to 21 points overall. It?s no accident that the Knights? resurgence has coincided with the return of Johns who has been red-hot form since returning from injury last June.
Ben Hornby (Dragons), Darren Lockyer (Broncos) and Billy Slater (Storm) are not far away on 19 points and still well in contention.
Parramatta back rower Nathan Hindmarsh takes up next position on 18 points while Brett Hodgson (Tigers) and Stacey Jones (Warriors) are on 17 points. Panthers' five eighth Preston Campbell is on 16 points but with just three rounds remaining, it?s going to take something special to see ?Presto? make the cut.
The full leader board is below.
