WXV Rising Star & Team of the Week 2015

[Holz]

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.

He isnt in decline they are mucking around with his role. He will go back to being a defender and beast it up.

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

...then Jaensch returns.

We can't wait :D

[Ricochet]

Zac Williams isn't far behind ;) 20yrs old ave 88 unsubbed atm

[Holz]

The best defender in the game is Alex Rance.

only 25 about to turn 26. has years of being a premo and has just broke into being a super premo. That concistency is what you want, all these guys i want to see a few more premos years till they join the Alex Rance club.

[roo boys!]

Hey Nige, love the work you do with this every week mate. I think you might have made a mistake though and listed the wrong Shaw at D4 this week? Probably just a typo, so I, and most importantly Rhyce, will forgive you

Which leads me to this current discussion about best defenders in the game...Shaw, Toovey, Litherland, Spangher. Do I need to say any more?

Seriously though, if Kelly goes around again, Griffen, Kelly, Macmillan isn't too shabby

[Jukes]

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!

oh, you mean that same horrible player Callum Sinclair that is only 1% as good as Daniher?

Nevar forget.

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.

and screw over Ringo in the process? We worked hard on the trade.

Zac Williams isn't far behind ;) 20yrs old ave 88 unsubbed atm

oh wow cheers for that, have him in Americas but haven't really looked to play him at all this year :P

[Hellopplz]

Zerrett breaks through with a masterful performance this week :D. Hodgey continuing his stunning year 8).

It's actually supposed to say H.Goddard.  :P

Round 16

Rising Star

Round 16 has brought us another tie! Both Seoul forward Caleb Daniel and Cairo swingman Hugh Goddard sharing the spoils with a 68. We can't help but notice the quality of nomination scores are dropping off, so we're left to wonder if the final nominee of the year can pump out a ton. Maybe it could Harris Andrews, who cracked the 100 point barrier but found himself playing reserves again!

Rising Star of the Week

London, Mexico City and New York all had three contributors this week, while our captain came from Dublin. In short, pretty much all these faces are usual suspects, some serial offenders. There's only one more chance for these same names plus any others keen for stardom to contribute, so who will rise to the occasion in the final home and away round of the season?

D: H.Shaw (New York), S.Higgins (Cape Town), D.Rampe (London), M.Broadbent (Mexico City)
M: J.Selwood (Capt, Dublin), B.Stanton (London), J.McVeigh (London), J.Caddy (Beijing)
R: T.Goldstein (Dublin)
F: K.Tippett (Vice Capt, New York), H.Bennell (New York), B.Deledio (Mexico City), J.Ziebell (Toronto)
I: A.Sandilands (Christchurch), T.Rockliff (Mexico City)

Coach: JROO8 (Mexico City)

As just about my only decent eligible player, Kayne Turner is looking good for a start this week. Is that tanking?
