What a week of NRL action it was, star performances, hard working players giving it their all, and flogging after flogging after flogging. Despite the barrage of points we dive into who were the players that were the best of the best this week in the NRL. Let our NRL Round 23 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 23 Team of the Week, so enjoy.

Probably no surprise there’s a lot of Roosters.
