    Team of the Week



    7. Sean McMahon (Rebels)
    Sean McMahon played No 6/BSF for 73 minutes had 4 carries for 4m gain and made 10 Tackles and 14 Ruck Involvements - 10A/4D yet he gets picked in a SMH Team of Week as No7/OSF.

    I would have thought that either:
    Matt Hodgson played as No 7/OSF for 63 minutes - 8 carries for 27m gain, 13 Tackles and 26 TRIs - 21A/5D; or
    George Smith who played as No 7/OSF for 81 minutes - 8 carries for 31m, 18 Tackles and 25 TRIs - 13A/12D
    would have been more worthy of selection.

    Even Colby Fainga'a, who actually played at No7/OSF for 81 minutes for the Rebels - 3 carries for 1m, 11 Tackles and 27 TRIs - 16A/11D would have been a better selection.

    That alone makes the people who make up this team of the week be totally unreliable.....

    Rebels with 4/15 of the side? Did they not get belted. It is like they are admitting that only losing to the Crusaders by 22 points is a great achievement

    I reckon the 3 absolute stand outs from the game had to be Coleman, even at the 80th min mark when we had the game he was still aggressive, tackling players and pushing them back. Ruru another one, his quick service of the ball from the base of the ruck really helped us get go foward against the reds. I really hope we can keep him at the force along with Louwrens, as they both great propsects for the future. And Grant controlled the game well, great kicking, and 100% accuracy for shots at goals as well as an awesome defensive effort. Saying that the whole team played well and everyone contributed to a fantastic win.
