This thread suggest only four teams are a genuine chance at winning with only four coaches being the Coach of the Week.

Dublin, Mexico City, Berlin and PNL.

Someone else could do it but they'd need one hell of a lucky run to beat them in finals.

Kind of like our run in the next four weeks... :P #TalkedTheTalkNowWalkTheWalk

Round 14

Rising Star

The Round 14 nomination heads Christchurch's way as Jack Steele produced a 75 to take it out this week. Jack can count himself lucky, as teammate Harris Andrews put up a 89 and James Harmes from sub-continent got 79. Nevertheless, congratulations!

Team of the Week

The big news this week was the terrifying score produced by resident team of the week ruck Todd Goldstein, but Rio's Gary Ablett won't let him steal his thunder. Beijing did well to have two contributors while New York's Heath Shaw was the shining light in a not so bright week for them. Fascinatingly, Mexico City, despite a top 3 score this week, only had one man squeeze into the side.

D: M.Williams (PNL), C.Yarran (Tokyo), L.Spurr (Pacific), H.Shaw (New York)
M: G.Ablett (Vice Capt, Rio), J.Caddy (Beijing), S.Thompson (Dublin), D.Mundy (Dublin)
R: T.Goldstein (Capt, Dublin)
F: D.Smith (Pacific), D.Zorko (Christchurch), L.Dahlhaus (Tokyo), B.Deledio (Mexico City)
I: S.Jacobs (Rio), T.Miller (Beijing)

Coach: Holz (Dublin)

Toga

Touk gets a TOTW nom! What a great first year he's had, a bit of a steal at where we picked him up 8)

Still bitter that even though we had two in the TOTW we couldn't get a win.

Was going to draft him at 20 so lucky he slipped to you guys

Round 15

Rising Star

It's been a long time coming, but Jack Lonie of Cairo finally gets a rising star nomination. His 75 isn't the best score you'll ever see to take out a nomination, with luck being on his side as Jake Lever, Kyle Langford, Kayne Turner, Jack Sinclair, Charlie Cameron, Darcy Moore, Harris Andrews and Jono O'Rourke all produced better efforts... in the reserves!

Team of the Week

The team this week once again has brought some familiar faces, with a few returning to form or producing what we know they can do. Perhaps the biggest surprise comes from the ruck of the week where Callum Sinclair of London proved to be an unlikely hero and beat out regulars such as Stef Martin, Mark Blicavs and Todd Goldstein. With only a couple of rounds left, if any player wants the honour of being in the team of the week, the time to act is now!

D: D.Roberton (Christchurch), L.Hodge (PNL), C.Hooker (Beijing), H.Shaw (New York)
M: J.Lewis (Vice, Capt, Mexico City), J.Selwood (Dublin), P.Dangerfield (Seoul), B.Stanton (London)
R: C.Sinclair (London)
F: J.Gunston (Capt, Dublin), T.Lynch (Seoul), D.Petrie (Berlin), S.Motlop (Tokyo)
I: H.Bennell (New York), Z.Merrett (PNL)

Coach: Holz (Dublin)

Purple 77

You're a legend Drew!

And yes I know he has only been in there once, but Max Gawn is going to join that group as a regular  8)

Unlikely got Goldy to compete with.

A positive though is future Berliner Jack Gunston (current Worlds captain) will likely be in alot of the team of the weeks next year.

You didn't have to trade him, you could have kept him and let his value rise or kept him for good if you could see this in him.

Roberton at D1 is an accurate representation of his standing in the game at the moment. The unsung hero of our team this year. When you take his age into account he's one of, if not the most valuable defender in the comp at the moment. A 113 average over the last 5, while that Melbourne flash in a pan is on the decline.

I'd rather have Laird myself ;) 21 years old, average of 97. Gun.
