AXV Rising Star & Team of the Week

[tbagrocks]

No room for Little Rory Laird :(

[Toga]

Not quite big T, 8 points off. :(

[tbagrocks]

Well he did junk it up massively  ;D  How far behind Crouchy? Had to be close to rising star!

[Toga]

Crouch = 153, Lairdy = 137

[tbagrocks]

Crouchy equalled his high possession count #31 from Westies (Prelim final) last year!

Lairdy had a few #29 Pos games also at West before his debut earlier this year, is about his highest toll from memory also!

[Toga]

Congratulations to Vietnam's Nick Haynes on receiving this week's Rising Star nomination for his 123 against the Dolphins on the weekend. Michael Talia came close to receiving a nomination this week.

Round 15 Team of the Week:
Captain: Dane Swan (Manila)
Coach: BB67th (Manila)
D: P.Hanley (Mongolia), B.Goddard (Manila), M.Johnson (Manila), D.Terlich (Bangkok)
M: D.Swan (Manila), B.Stanton (HK), B.Ebert (Kathmandu), S.Pendlebury (KL)
R: T.Bellchambers (KL)
F: H.Ballantyne (Manila), B.Harvey (Bangladesh), L.Adams (Turkey), J.Winderlich (Taiwan)
U: R.O'Keefe (Mongolia), J.Selwood (Bangladesh)

Heartbreak for Hong Kong's Bradd Dalziell, Australia's Cale Hooker and Angus Monfries, and Taiwan's Jared Brennan, all of whom would have made this week's team had they been named in their respective sides. The team is captained by Manila's Dane Swan and coached by Manila's BB67th, with a pretty even showing across the board. This week will be the last with a scarcity of Vietnamese player though I think with captain Dayne Beams set to return next week.

[Adamant]

Haha I have 5/6 of this weeks TOTW in my DT Midfield - Swan, Stanton, Pendles, ROK and Jelwood.

Jared Brennan plays for the Dolphins, not the Bears. ;)

[Toga]

Thanks Ad, forgot you traded him! ;)

[Adamant]

Yeah... kinda flowered up on that trade. :P

[Toga]

Congratulations to Australia's Sam Mayes who earns a rising star nomination for his 141 point effort this week. Honourable mentions must go to Sri Lanka's Nathan Hrovat (129), and Mongolia's Jarryd Lyons (128).

[Toga]

Congratulations to Papua New Guinea's Marley Williams who earns himself an AXV Rising Star Nomination for his 135 point effort on the weekend. The already-nominated Jaeger O'Meara's 181 deserves a mention here as well, what a huge score for the young man!

D: A.Rance (Laos), R.Henderson (UAE), T.McKenzie (Australia), D.Myers (Vietnam)

Two representatives for Vietnam! Two!! And neither were skipper Dayne Beams, who just missed out on this week's selection! Heartbreak for Manila's Matt Lobbe who would have been a shoo-in for the ruck spot this week but missed out on selection in his team! Ablett returns to the captain's list, as we see UAE coach JROO8 recognised for his team's effort this week in being named coach of this week's TOTW.

[Nige]

Coach: Toga (Mongolia)

as we see UAE coach JROO8 recognised for his team's effort this week in being named coach of this week's TOTW.
