    14: Cameron Shepherd (Force) (1)
    13: Rob Horne (Waratahs) (3)
    12: Ryan Cross (Force) (1)
    11: Rod Davies (Reds) (2)
    10: Quade Cooper (Reds) (5)
    9: Will Genia (Reds) (6)
    8: Stephen Hoiles (Brumbies) (5)
    7: Phil Waugh (Waratahs) (2)

    Player of the round: Quade Cooper. Another accomplished performance by Australian rugby's most in-form No 10, instigating another important win for the Reds on the road.

    Are my calculations correct in saying Sharpie has been picked every week but one excluding the bye?

    Great to see a few more Force boys being recongnised. No room for Bam Bam and Hodsie --- this guy didnt watch too much of trhe game just looiked at the results I feel.

    To be fair Phil Waugh played a blinder for the Tahs...

    Who would have thought a few weeks ago Cross would be given credit for the Aussie no. 12 of the round?...

    Also interesting to see that Hockings was recognised.. considering he has been playing second fiddle to Wykes for most of the season...

    I think Crossy's inclusion was more because the choice was made without actually watchin gthe games...Giteau played 12 better than Cross (Gits played second 5/8 Cross played Inside centre if you get my meaning). Gits made several mistakes and I was ready to post about him being cursed until he put together some awesome try creates and basically had a blinder of a last 20. Giteu for mine (the first time IMHO he's actually deserved it)

    I thought Waugh played pretty well and Elsom was.....Elsom, but though Hoiles was pretty lucky to get a spot. I guess that was more because of the number on his back. Bam and Hodgeo played amazingly, but Brownie was relatively quiet. Cliffy was typically asleep (big game, what can I say) and Houston (he was #8 wasn't he) was workmanlike but not outstanding. I'd suspect even a fair judge would call it close between Brownie and Hoiles. I would've thought Bam had the better game than Waugh, but can't complain the decision, it was very close.

    Absolutely......Well Done Sharpie.....

    Bam played better than Waugh....As someone said he looked at the score not the game...Bring it on BAM and welcome back Sheps..good to have you back on board, and doing what you do best...
