What an incredible first weekend of NRL action it was. Star performances, hard working players giving it their all, and winner of the battle of Brisbane, and it isn’t XXXX Gold. But which players were the best of the best? We try and make the stats do the talking, and separate the Wheat/Chaff to present the NRL Round 4 Team of the Week explain.
We have taken some of the key stats and assign various scoring methods, all in the good intention of making the various types of stats even out across the position, and a true team of the week unveiled.
An explanation of what is included and points assigned is right at the bottom.
2023 NRL Round 4 Team of the Week & Player Stats
2023 NRL Round 4 Team of the Week
So we’ve used the stats for each position and picked the best starting 13 players from the most recent round, the stats and points assigned are explained at the end.
On top of the best starting 13, we include the best four interchange players of the week. Seeing who has provided maximum impact from the bench.
Nicho Hynes returns for 023 and resumes where he left off in 2022, and is arguably the weekend’s star. The returning Cameron Munster from a Round One injury claims the five-eighth off the week.
Not sure if the Newcastle win over Canberra was an upset, but our Team of the Week features a few Knights players, including Greg Marzhew that makes the dropping of Dom Young seem like a good idea.
A good number of players from losing sides make our Team of the Week, showing that winning isn’t everything. Or perhaps those players shone more because the rest of their team was no good.
Tom Starling has featured in our best interchange players for three of the first four weeks of the 2023 NRL season.
2023 NRL Round 4 Team of the Year….So Far
