Manly's most influential player returned from injury and his impact was immediate. Scored a try and set up two others in a man-of-the-match performance.

Scored 20-points in Manly's upset victory over the Titans.

Continues to impress whilst playing outside of his preferred position of five-eighth. Scored a try - his third in as many weeks - and recorded two linebreaks.

At his best during Saturday's nail-biter against Wests. Scored a try, completed 16 tackles (100% efficiency) and ran for over 150 metres with ball-in-hand.

Broke through 15 tackle attempts on his way to a mammoth 272 run metres.

Has quickly become the man at Melbourne following the retirement of future immortal Cam Smith. Recorded nine tackle breaks and five offloads against a lackluster Roosters outfit.

Continues the streak of form that has seen him become the best player in the competition over the past 18 months of football. Finished the match with a whopping 810 kick metres and has the best kick chase in the comp to boot.

Scored the match-winner for South Sydney in an all-time classic on Saturday evening. Carted the ball for 206 running metres.

Destroyed the Roosters from the ruck from the minute he stepped onto the field. Finished the contest with a try and a try assist.

Played less than a game of footy coming off the bench for the Cowboys (37 minutes) but his impact was felt. Ran the ball forward for 187 metres and completed 26 tackles (0 misses).

The most improved player in the competition has cemented himself a starting spot in the Eels back row following an impressive string of performances over the past month. Against Canberra the 22-year-old scored a double and ran for over 150 metres with ball in hand.

Has been Newcastle's most consistent forward this season and put in another impressive display against Cronulla over the weekend. Completed 48 tackles, carted the ball forward for 165 metres and recorded a try assist.
