With the second round of the new NRL season completed, it is time for The Gurgler to pick the great from the grape with our NRL Team of the Week Round 2.
Who knows, it could be the last one for a while.
With rugby league close to the only game in town and few other sporting distractions, it was an easy chore to catch up with all eight games, and so we have put that to good use and selected a bunch of players who we thought stood out.
We pick the best 13 players by position, then the next best four in any position to make our weekly T.O.W. squad.
It wasn’t all about getting the best 17 players from Supercoach points, nor just looked at a data field or two, the Team of the Week is a combination of those but with our keen eye on the little and big things that data doesn’t always do justice.
So enjoy our NRL Team of the Week Round 2, and have your say about how far off we are at the end.
NRL Team of the Week Round 2
Here is the best of for the second week of the NRL, and backs make up the majority this weekend.
A notable omission is Mitchell Pearce who is unlucky not to make this list, but so many halfbacks played so well this weekend.
A few others across the field were also bumped out of the final 17.
Against trend there are players from losing sides, and one who came off the bench, included in our team of the week for Round 2, such was the impact.
