The Mole's Team of the Week: Warrior who 'I didn't think could play' among club's unlikely heroes
Warriors on a high
The Warriors are on a high after a third straight victory to start the season and some of the club's best players at the moment are anything but household names.
Pictured among teammates celebrating this try against the Knights are Tanah Boyd (far left Warriors player) and Jackson Ford (second from left, next to Boyd) - both were recruited from Australia without big reputations, yet both have been key to their success so far this season.
Scroll on to find out who made The Mole's Team of the Week for round three alongside that pair.
1. Connor Tracey (Bulldogs)
Possibly his best performance at NRL level, scoring his team's first try, having a hand in their other, saving one and making over 200 run metres in terrible conditions in Canberra.
2. Tom Jenkins (Panthers)
Took his tally to a remarkable eight tries from three games this season with four tries in the massacre of the Roosters at Allianz on Friday night.
3. Herbie Farnworth (Dolphins)
The man many regard as the best centre in world rugby league carved up Cronulla's highly rated backline with two line breaks and a try assist.
4. Jaxon Purdue (Cowboys)
Shaping as an early bolter for Queensland Origin selection with his superb start to the season - two try assists and two line breaks against the Titans.
5. Bailey Simonsson (Eels)
Ran his team out of trouble time and again in the defeat of the Dragons with a massive 244 metres.
6. Jake Clifford (Cowboys)
Instrumental in the Cowboys' first win of the season with a big attacking game in the defeat of the Titans on Sunday night.
7. Tanah Boyd (Warriors)
The most improved player in the NRL bar none - I didn't think he could play. Destroyed the Knights with his clever ball playing and kicking game.
8. Keaon Koloamatangi (Rabbitohs)
A tower of strength up front for the Bunnies in their thrilling win over the Tigers, topping the run metres and putting his team on the front foot.
9. Tallyn Da Silva (Eels)
Turned the game against the Dragons in his 22 minute stint, scoring two tries, narrowly missing a third and setting one up.
