Round 13

Rising Star

It's been a long time coming, but Cape Town's Gryan Miers (110) finally gets his nom, putting forward one of the stronger claims for the rising star honour.



Team of the Week

Although playing in the ruck, swinging him forward maximized the TOTWs points and showed just how valuable Tokyo's Scott Lycett is. Other than that, it was pretty much the Toronto & Beijing show having three players a piece. FTC also getting some coach of the week noms late in the year, with his biggest score of the season yet!

D: Christian Salem (Seoul), Hamish Hartlett (Rio de Janeiro), Zac Williams (Tokyo), Jasper Pittard (Cape Town)
M: Dayne Zorko (Beijing), Nat Fyfe (Berlin), Ben Cunnington (Cape Town), Jack Macrae (Toronto)
R: Brodie Grundy (Beijing)
F: Scott Lycett [C] (Tokyo), Rowan Marshall [VC] (Toronto), Tim Kelly (Toronto), Jack Darling (New Delhi)
I: Lachie Neale (Beijing), Adam Treloar (Moscow)

Coach: fanTCfool (Toronto)

Round 14

Rising Star

Shai Bolton (Mexico City) and Cameron Zurhaar (Seoul) really went for it with 110+ scores, but it was Christchurch's James Rowbottom (99) that made his points count!



Team of the Week

A midfield domination this week, with 4 of the 5 highest scorers coming from that line, including CCs Oliver & Coniglio. Else, the more-common-than-you-think three rucks featured a blast from the past in Goldstein & Kreuzer, whilst Beijing's patience in DBJ is starting to pay off.

Jason Castagna (Cairo) couldn't make his 143 count from the reserves, nor does Josh Bruce's (London) 138. But flowering McCarthy's (Cairo) does...

D: James Sicily (Mexico City), Brad Sheppard (London), Jake Lloyd (New Delhi), Darcy Byrne-Jones (Beijing)
M: Clayton Oliver [CC] (Seoul), Stephen Coniglio [CC] (Moscow), Lachie Neale (Beijing), Marcus Bontempelli (Pacific)
R: Todd Goldstein (Dublin)
F: Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul), Jack Billings (PNL), Tom McDonald (Dublin), Lincoln McCarthy (Cairo)
I: Brodie Grundy (Beijing), Matthew Kreuzer (Toronto)

Coach: Toga (Beijing)

But flowering McCarthy's (Cairo) does...

This makes everything worth it.

Round 15

Rising Star

Atoning for last weeks missed opportunity, Mexico City's Shai Bolton (112) take home the nom this week, and funnily enough, just like last week, beats out Seoul's Cameron Zurhaar (103) who was stuck in the reserves.



Team of the Week

Well, look at this motley crew! Dunkley goes the double-ton to captain the side, who are just made up of very random players! Well done to Boomz for taking out coach of the week, with JROO8 runner up!

D: Robbie Tarrant (Christchurch), Nic Newman (Mexico City), Taylor Duryea (New York), Darcy Byrne-Jones (Beijing)
M: Josh Dunkley [C] (Tokyo), Lachie Hunter (Mexico City), Nat Fyfe (Berlin), Jarryd Lyons (Pacific)
R: Brodie Grundy (Beijing)
F: Patrick Dangerfield [VC] (Seoul), Ben Brown (Cairo), Toby Greene (Dublin), Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti (Tokyo)
I: Luke Dunstan (Mexico City), Todd Goldstein (Dublin)

Coach: Boomz (Tokyo)

To reiterate, look at that strange TOTW!
