The Mole's round 6 Team of the Week: 'Under pressure' star's big message to Blues coach
Are you watching, Loz?
NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley will be keeping a keen eye on several players as he mulls State of Origin selection over the coming weeks.
One incumbent in particular looked to be "under pressure" - before having a day out in round six.
He makes The Mole's team of the week.
1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow (Dolphins)
A stunning hat-trick against the Panthers makes me wonder - is he the fastest fullback of all time?
2. Christian Tuipulotu (Dragons)
Only lasted 60 minutes before leaving the field injured but still led both teams in run metres and bagged two tries.
3. Jake Averillo (Dolphins)
Two line breaks, a try and nearly 200 running metres against the Panthers - one of the most under-rated players in the league.
4. Billy Smith (Roosters)
Classy centre looks to have finally shaken a horror career with injury by scoring two fine tries in the defeat of the Broncos.
5. Xavier Coates (Storm)
Scored two tries and set up two more against the wounded Warriors. The complete modern day winger at the top of his game.
6. Braydon Trindall (Sharks)
The most dangerous player on show in Perth, with two try assists against Manly and a line break as well as a solid kicking game.
7. Jarome Luai (Tigers)
His cool head and smart kicking game led the Tigers to a spirited defeat of a dismal Newcastle team on Sunday.
8. Terrell May (Tigers)
Totally dominated the lethargic Knights pack with his power running and big hits as his team scored a crushing upset win.
9. Reece Robson (Cowboys)
Under-pressure NSW hooker sent Laurie Daley a message with his best game of the year against Souths, coming up with a try assist and 140 run metres.
