The Mole's round 20 Team of the Week: Tigers discard makes mockery of contract call
Making a mockery of Tigers
An under-rated Tigers star who made a mockery of his former club, a Penrith hero and an Origin star, feature in the Mole's team of the week for round 20.
1. Reece Walsh (Broncos)
Back to his devastating best, with two try assists, four line break assists and nearly 200 run metres in the win at Newcastle.
2. Grant Anderson (Storm)
Another Craig Bellamy 'no-name' who has become a top liner, winning his battle with Roosters star Dom Young with two tries and 151 run metres.
3. Taane Milne (Rabbitohs)
His best game of the year with two try assists and three line breaks as the Bunnies ran riot against the Tigers in Gosford on Saturday afternoon.
4. Deine Mariner (Broncos)
One of the most improved players in the NRL in 2024. Destroyed the Knights out wide with two tries and three line breaks.
5. Jaxon Purdue (Cowboys)
Scored the decisive try in the defeat of the Bulldogs on Sunday night and safe under pressure in a vital game for his team.
6. Nathan Cleary (Panthers)
The game's best player made a triumphant return to the NRL after an injury layoff in the thriller against the Dolphins, creating tries and then kicking a marvellous field goal to win it in golden point.
7. Jamal Fogarty (Raiders)
Made a triumphant return after a long layoff with injury, kicking superbly in general play and laying on a try as the Raiders held on to beat the Warriors.
8. Addin Fonua-Blake (Warriors)
Ran for 170 metres and scored the try that should have tied up Friday night's thriller as the Warriors almost ran down the Raiders.
9. Damien Cook (Rabbitohs)
Started at hooker, moved to centre, kicked some pressure goals and ran for over 150 metres in the big win over the Tigers on Saturday.
