Sam Powell-Pepper is the Round 2 rising star after a polished performance in his debut match for the UAE Tigers. He racked up 25 possessions and a goal in the Tigers win over Hong Kong.

The team of the week for Round 2 was headlined by the coaching combo of Rids and Nostra who have been named the coach for both of the first 2 rounds. In a sign of the evenness of the Crabs, only 2 players made the team of the week this round despite top scoring for the second week in a row. Four other teams each had 2 players selected for the Round 2 team, whilst Lance Franklin of the Crocs was the only constant from the Round 1 team.

Interesting note that if Ryan Burton had been selected for the Vipers, not only would he have won the rising star nomination, he would have also made the Team of the Week in defense.

Good to finally see a couple of Folders making it into the Team of the Week!

Jack Silvagni is the Round 3 rising star nomination after another solid performance in attack for Hong Kong. Silvagni has played all 3 games for the Dongs this season and is an important part of their future. Interestingly three other rookies scored better than Silvagni this week but were not named for their respective AXV teams - Sam Petrevski-Seton from Tibet, Ryan Burton and Jacob Hopper from Vietnam. This was the second consecutive week that Ryan Burton would have won the rising star nomination if named for the Vipers.

The UAE Tigers had 3 players make the Round 3 Team of the Week including Dustin Martin as captain. It was Martin's second time in three rounds in the team as it was for Taylor Adams (Bangkok), Marc Murphy (Mongolia), Matthew Kreuzer (Taiwan) and Rory Sloane (Sri Lanka). A couple of unlucky players who would have made team but weren't selected by the AXV Coach's were Alex Neal-Bullen (PNG) :'( and Brandon Matera (Vietnam). For the third consecutive week the Bangkok combo of Rids/Nostra were named as coach, showing the Crabs are definitely the team to beat this season.

hard team to get into - we also had Nic Newman who would have won rising star nom as well, I believe

Consistency is the Vipers #1 issue right now.....

Was it Rico or Rids/Nostra for coach(es) of the week? Opening post says Rico while above says the Crabs duo.
