NRLCEO Team of the Week Round 5 2016

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 5 Team of the Week:

Sorry??? Who’s player of the week? Cameron McInnes!!! What a turn up. Nobody. And I mean nobody would have predicted this preseason. Most expected Damien Cook to take the spot and play 80 minutes but McInnes has proven that Madge is not mad and scored a career high 17 points over the weekend through a double try effort, workhorse, a try assist, two line breaks, a line break assist and a workhorse! To put that into perspective, he scored 19 points ALL YEAR last season across 12 games.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck started the year with four double metre eaters in a row, but not much else. Was this game the coming of RTS in a Warriors jersey? He scored 15 points through a try, two try assists, three line break assists and of course – a double metre eater.

Bryce Cartwright came with big wraps on him preseason and a fair few CEOs placed a high value on him in the draft. Whilst he has been doing well in other fantasy games, he hasn’t performed in NRLCEO until now. He scored 15 points through two tries, a line break, a metre eater and his first workhorse of the year.

In the last game of the round, Jarrod Croker nudged his way into the Team of the Week too with a two try performance – his fourth try for the year.

 

The full team is listed below:

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (15)

2. Josh Mansour (9)

3. Solomone Kata (10)

4. Jarrod Croker (11)

5. Tuimoala Lolohea (8)

6. Shaun Johnson (10)

7. Cooper Cronk (10)

8. Jacob Lillyman (9)

9. Cameron McInnes (17)

10. Korbin Sims (8)

11. Bryce Cartwright (15)

12. Gavin Cooper (9)

13. Zeb Taia (10)

Note: 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)

 

NRLCEO Dream Team Round 5 2016

Overall Dream Team:

Each week we will accumulate the points for each player to come up with the Overall Dream Team for 2016.

 

He’s back! After a weekend where he scored just two points with a metre eater, James Tedesco is the first player of 2016 to break the 50 point barrier after just five games!!! Incredibly he has seven tries in the first five rounds and has scored them in clumps of 2, 3, 0, 0 and 2.

One of our new entrants for the week is 201 game veteran Shaun Kenny-Dowall. He’s now scored four tries in two games and is an inconsistent metre eater with two singles and a double so far.

CEOs are rejoicing the fact that Josh Mansour is back to living up to his potential again. He’s headed back towards his 2014 form where he scored 107 points with 29 points so far from the opening five rounds.

Not only was it a great shock that Cameron McInnes was the player of the week, an even bigger shock is that he’s the highest scoring hooker of the year so far! So often a position held down by guns such as Andrew McCullough, Cam Smith, Nathan Peats and Robbie Farah – McInnes is the surprise packet of the year! He’s been lucky to benefit from a few Damien Cook injuries so far, but if he keeps this up he’s on his way to a very profitable season.

The last new entrant is a man that our experts touted as a “smokey” pre-draft – Zeb Taia. We knew he had try scoring form in the Super League, but this is the NRL – he can’t keep it up right? Well he has. Four tries and two workhorses so far sees his the Luke Lewis of 2016 early on…

 

Here is the full Dream Team after five rounds:

1. James Tedesco (53)

2. Kevin Naiqama (34)

3. Solomone Kata (37)

4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall (29) – NEW

5. Josh Mansour (29) – NEW

6. Anthony Milford (46)

7. Moses Mbye (30)

8. James Graham (38)

9. Cameron McInness (33) – NEW

10. Aaron Woods (34)

11. Ethan Lowe (40)

12. Zeb Taia (27) – NEW

13. Ryan James (30)

Note: 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)
