Nah just checking on our Josh Smith. But think he's too old

Christian Petracca from the Vietnam Vipers is the Round 7 rising star nominee after coming into the side late replacing Jack Sinclair. With his nomination the Vipers become the first team with 2 nominations this year after Tom Papley was nominated in Round 5.

Is was a fairly even team of the week in Rd.7 with five teams having 2 representatives each including the 14th place Manilla Folders and the 15th place Taiwan Dolphins who managed 2 representatives despite losing their 6th consecutive game.

The Captain for this week's team was Nick Riewoldt from Australia with a score of 200, whilst Heath Shaw became the first player to make the team 4 times for the year, being named in defence for the 3rd consecutive week.

Coach of the Kuala Lumpur Crocodiles, Rico, became the first coach to be selected twice for the year.

Change on the rising star nomination this week as I originally missed the fact Petracca came on as an emergency for the Vipers :-[

Daniel Howe from the Bangladesh Bears is the Round 8 rising star nominee becoming the Bears second nomination of the year after his solid performance in defense in their victory over Taiwan.

The Nostra/Rids combination was the coach of the week as their Bangkok Crabs put together the highest score of the round in their defeat of Kathmandu. The Crabs also led the way with four players in the team of the week, Sam Docherty, Zach Merrett, Dane Zorko and Adam Treloar. Four teams contributed two players which again included bottom ranked teams the Manilla Folders and Taiwan Dolphins despite falling to their 6th and 8th losses respectively.

Tom Liberatore of the Bangladesh Bears was named Captain whilst Heath Shaw was named in defence for the 4th consecutive week and 5th time overall.
