The number one fullback in the game continues to soar to new heights. Set up two tries and scored two of his own in the Roosters' demolition of the Gold Coast Titans.

Scored a hattrick of tries and ran for over 160 metres with ball in hand.

  1. Latrell Mitchell (Sydney Roosters)

  1. Esan Marsters (Wests Tigers)

Scored a double and broke a whopping seven tackles against a lacklustre Cowboys side.

Took his side one step closer to finals footy with a big win over competition heavyweights, South Sydney.

  1. Josh Hodgson (Canberra Raiders)

Man of the match in his side's big win against New Zealand. Controlled the game from the outset. Hodgson earnt his side 119 metres with his running game and 170 metres with his kicking game as well as scoring a try and breaking a mammoth nine tackles from dummy-half.

  1. Hey Zero Tackle. Please run the “Storm commemorate the salary cap tainted premiership” SMH story.
    I’d like to hear parra fans opinion on this.

  3. I would like to hear Storm Fans take on this.

    For mine, the Storm won those premierships and the fact that they were subsequently taken away because of financial shenanigans takes nothing away from the achievements of the players and the memory of the fans. The Storm won those Grand Finals, the Storm lifted the trophy in those Grand Finals and yes they were subsequently taken away but the achievements still remain.

    But that was over a decade ago and never stops getting mentioned. That is what annoys me the most. If you want to stop Melbourne fans celebrating those wins then lets have a proper Cronulla style investigation, lets actually see what those 2nd contracts actually said, lets understand what the total amount of cheating was and why it came about and who really did know about it and then let the NRL deal out proper punishments Cronulla style.

    If fans want to keep persecuting Melbourne for its one transgression then lets have the facts. Its time to put up or shut up.

  4. Thanks Edward

    Unfortunately its not water under the bridge when every media goose and keyboard warrior drag it up over and over. I know its the only thing they can find to criticise us about but geez over 10 years. Cronulla & the Eels criticism lasted about 10 days.

    Just get sick of reading the same old.

  6. @Rucky. Are you delusional? “when every media goose and keyboard warrior drag it up over and over”
    Storm were wearing 2009 comemerative badges on their jerseys on the weekend. And the had an anniversary lunch.
    The Storm keep dragging it up over and over.
    Storm need to get over over it.
    They got premierships stripped.
    THEY’RE NOT GETTING THEM BACK!!!!

    Thats our captain
    I like to listen to the foo fighters song(there goes my hero, watch him as he goes.)

  9. Thatโ€™s my thoughts storm warning.
    Youโ€™re wrong on one of his stats.
    He had 1 try assist, when he set up Jerome Hugh for a try with his pathetic effort for a tackle.
    Make the call Seibold and sack the rat.

  10. sceamin….. As a Parra fan I am no more angered/disappointed/whatever you want to call it than any other supporter. Do I think they should be celebrating 2009? Of course not. But to be honest it really has no impact on me that they did.

    I still maintain the same stance I have had since the day the stripping of the premiership was announced, Parra deserve it no more than any other team that year. If Melbourne are caught earlier everything changes, Perhaps Parra don’t even make the GF as their run there would have been different.
