Scored a try and set up three others as the Roosters went on to defeat the Canberra Raiders in a top of the table clash that certainly met expectations.

Scored a try and ran for over 200 run metres as the Brisbane Broncos recorded just their third win of the season.

  1. Josh Morris (Cronulla Sharks)

Bagged a double as the Sharks won their first back to back game since Round three this season.

  1. Curtis Scott (Melbourne Storm)

Having spent the previous fortnight in the Queensland Cup, Curtis Scott returned to the Melbourne line up with a point to prove. Scored a length of the field try, recorded two line breaks, broke eight tackles and finished the game with 270 run metres.

Scored two tries and ran for 180 metres with ball in hand during Melbourneโ€™s best 80-minute performance as a team this season.

  1. Cameron Munster (Melbourne Storm)

Cemented his position as the first man picked for the Maroons in the upcoming State of Origin series after a Man of the Match performance. Scored two tries, set another up, broke eight tackles and ran for 170 run metres.

  1. Mitchell Pearce (Newcastle Knights)

Continues an impressive streak of football since the team came under scrutiny several weeks ago. Scored a try, took the line on and had the ball on a string with an equally impressive kicking game.

  1. Payne Haas (Brisbane Broncos)

This 20-year-old must really find first grade easy. In just his eight first grade appearance, the hulking prop ran for 202 running metres, completed 32 tackles and broke nine of the oppositions attempts of tackle.

  1. Ha ha Donkeys beat a half strength Manly and they get all these players in the team of the round as though they were great. They were still rubbish just not as bad in the second half.
