What a week of NRL action it was, star performances everywhere, hard working players giving it their all, and The Bunker ruining the <insert game here> match. But who were the best of the best this week in the NRL? Let our NRL Round 18 Team of the Week explain.
We have taken some of the key stats and assign various scoring methods against them, all in the good intention of making the various types of stats even out across the position.
An explanation of what is included and points assigned is right at the bottom.
This may be all good in hindsight, but could also help the odd desperate Supercoach player, or down on his luck sports gambling investor.
It’s time to unveil the NRL Round 18 Team of the Week, so enjoy.

A FEW THOUGHTS:
- Titans debutant Sosefo Fifita makes the top ten for metres run in his first game.
- Addin Fonua-Blake tops the Post Contact Metres with 100+ from the bench in just 53 playing minutes.
- Joey Manu had a day out for the Roosters. We don’t supply any stats of injury feigning leading to a try or assist.
- Latrell Mitchell had a night out against the Bulldogs with six assists all up.
- The top two for kicking metres were from the same game – Broncos v Titans, which isn’t that surprising given there wasn’t a try scored for nearly half an hour.
