Round 25 Dream Team
Looking at the best performances each week to determine the Team of the Week and using the player’s season totals to determine the overall Dream Team for 2016 on a week by week basis.
Round 25 Team of the Week:
What a high scoring game at Brookvale! 74 points in the NRL game meant plenty of NRLCEO points too. Big Tom Trbojevic (18) was the Player of the Week. A favourite of mine after drafting him in two of my teams and then having him agree to be on the NRLCEO podcast too. He tore the Raiders right hand side defence to shreds and made it look like Under 20’s scoring his first hat-trick in the NRL.
On the winning side Jordan Rapana (17) also scored himself a neat hat-trick to take his season tally to 18 tries. He also ran for a huge 270 metres netting him a double metre eater along the way too.
In the forwards it was Ethan Lowe (16) who made a splash. His two try, workhorse effort came with a metre eater and two line breaks as well. It also broke the hearts of many CEOs playing against him too.
Note: NRLCEO points are based on tries (4), workhorses (4), double workhorses (8), try assists (2), line breaks (1), line break assists (1), metre eaters (2), double metre eaters (4), field goals (1), 40/20’s (1), sin bins (-2) and send offs (-4).
SuperDraft points are based on tries (4), try assists (2), line breaks (1), line break assists (0.5), tackles (0.1), runs (0.1), field goals (1), 40/20’s (1), sin bins (-2) and send offs (-4)
Overall Dream Team:
Each week we will accumulate the points for each player to come up with the Overall Dream Team for 2016.
Can we hand him the trophy yet? James Graham (172) goes into the final round 11 points ahead of Ryan James (161). So barring a miracle – he’s done it for the first time!
There is one new member of the Dream Team this week and it’s well deserved too. Shout out to @aussiepiston (aka the Trade Doctor) who didn’t rate Joey Leilua at the start of the year and said he’d only score eight tries. Well he has ten now with one game of the regular season to go and 118 NRLCEO points too boot. At least he’s conceded…
@Fantasy_NRLCEO maybe? I was nervous about him getting a couple of doubles.
Either way I accept he has outperformed expectations
