WXV Rising Star and Team of the Week 2017

[meow meow]

2017 is particularly impressive. A worthless 5 matches @ 46 vs Zorko.

And still no compo.

Pick 2 for Jobe.
Pick 12 for Jack Trengove.
Shuey for useless McVeigh and decent WHE.

Why do we even vote on trades? Atrocious.

[Toga]

Win-win-win you mean

Nice!

Round 15

Rising Star

This one was a matter of when not if, so it's good to see that Alex Witherden takes out this week's honour with a 109 which also happened to be the best rookie score of the week!

Team of the Week

D: Shannon Hurn [c] (New York), Michael Hurley (Pacific), Taylor Adams (Cairo), Shane Savage (Toronto)
M: Gary Ablett [vc] (Rio), Brad Ebert (Rio), Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul), Ben Cunnington (Mexico City)
R: Matthew Kreuzer (Toronto)/Shane Mumford (Cairo)
F: Chad Wingard (PNL), Jack Macrae (Toronto), Lance Franklin (Berlin), Jack Riewoldt (Dublin)
I: Tom Mitchell (Pacific), Sam Gray (London)

Coach: RaisyDaisy and AaronKirk (New York)



Not sure we've ever had a situation where two rucks got the same score but the only spot left to fill was the actual ruck spot, so I figured both deserved to have their name listed.

Sure thing ;)

[Adamant]

Good to see Kreuz is slowing down.

Pops Kelly for Witho will go down as one of the greatest trades in WXV history.
