WXV Rising Star & Team of the Week 2015

[ossie85]

I could so see Toronto losing because they played Turner, and Buenos Aires winning, meaning they miss the finals!

[meow meow]

I remember that time when everyone voted for Wallis over my boy Treloar purely because Mitch had a better average even though he was a 2nd year player. Go ahead and vote for a 2nd or 3rd year player again, we don't need the WXV award to know that Harris and Jake are the real rising stars.

Round 17

Rising Star

Last but not least, Harris Andrews of Christchurch finally gets a nomination with a respectable 80. He had missed out in previous weeks but the very last nomination of the season heads his way for his persistence and patience!

Team of the Week

Oink oink, Dane Swan, the pig of old is our final captain! Sam Jacobs relegated Todd Goldstein to the interchange by a mere point. Aaron Hall was the hard luck story, with a massive score... for Toronto's reserves side - Manitoba. We're done for the year! Congrats to all those who were nominated for a rising star or made the team of the week!

D: S.Higgins (Cape Town), A.Fasolo (Pacific), H.Shaw (New York), M.Baguley (London)
M: D.Swan (Capt, PNL), P.Dangerfield (Seoul), B.Cunnington (Toronto), J.Selwood (Dublin)
R: S.Jacobs (Vice Capt, Rio)
F: D.Martin (Dublin), T.Lynch (Seoul), D.Zorko (Christchurch), J.Hogan (Moscow)
I: T.Goldstein (Dublin), L.Montagna (New York)

Coach: Holz (Dublin)

I hate you Jacobs.

Dublin's big 3 in Goldy Martin Jelly all made the team so im happy. Just need number 4 to step up in Rory Sloane, he was good but I need all 4 firing to take this out.

And an even bigger thanks for Nige massively helping me out with this!

A good 5 players would have got the nod ahead of Andrews this week, with serial misser-outer McStay leading the charge.

89, 79, 109, 80 is a solid month for any backline premo. My boy Harris doesn't turn 19 until December too. Well deserved nomination big fella.

Again, no worries, I actually really enjoyed it. It's pretty entertaining work looking at who scored what and sometimes being amazed at the scores and the players getting the nod.

Nice work Nige :)

Are we gonna be doing a winner for the RS award at the end of the season like in the past?

I believe the voting for that will be sent out with all the other stuff later.

Yup!

[roo boys!]

A good 5 players would have got the nod ahead of Andrews this week, with serial misser-outer McStay leading the charge.

Is that including my boy Turner, who was looking good for a ton right up until Thursday night?

Dan McStay,
Rory Atkins (holy crap, that's like my only near-nomination :P)
Brayden Maynard
Alex Pearce
Jake Kolodjashnij

But sure, him too :P

[Hellopplz]

PNL never got a nomination this season for Rising Star, but don't think we had many in with a shot. Think only Laverde or Garlett really and both didn't play for more than half the year each :(.

[ossie85]

We getting a finals team of the week Nige?
