This and Idol will get done either tonight or tomorrow :)
I might actually win something this year with Phillips & Powell-Pepper eligible 8)
Well, Joel Smith was shaping up as a fine Rising Star candidate 20 mins into his season...
I have hopes for the Riddler, but looks like that'll be next year too.
I'd love to see Corey Wagner step up.

Round 1
Rising Star
The first rising star nomination for 2017 came out of Seoul where they're planning a #Caleb2Caleb succession plan, and it's off to a good start with Caleb Marchbank pumping out a very nice 97 to take the honours in the first week of the season.
Team of the Week
D: Rory Laird (Pacific), Jason Johannisen (Tokyo), Steven May (Moscow), Heath Shaw (Mexico City)
M: Dustin Martin [VC] (Dublin), Dyson Heppell (Moscow), Scott Pendlebury (Toronto), Marc Murphy (New Delhi)
R: Max Gawn (Berlin)
F: Josh J Kennedy [C] (New York), Elliot Yeo (Rio de Janeiro), Lance Franklin (Berlin), Jesse Hogan (Moscow)
I: Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul), Tom Rockliff (Mexico City)
Round 2
Rising Star
For the second week of the season, Tokyo gets to party as Sam Powell-Pepper produced the goods and delivered a 92 which really showed what he's capable of and it's fair to say that's scary when you consider it's only his second game!
Team of the Week
D: Christian Salem (Seoul), Sam Docherty (Moscow), Robbie Tarrant (New York), Jake Lloyd (New Delhi)
M: Robbie Gray [c] (New Delhi), Rory Sloane [vc] (Dublin), Ollie Wines (Beijing), Luke Shuey (London)

Correct.
Also TotW writeups return next week. :o 8)
You can start the write up for the round 3 and eventual rising star winner early this week. Rodney isn't dumb enough to keep Fiorini out for another week.
Round 3
Rising Star
A star has risen out of Toronto where second year player Jacob Hopper worked hard for a 90 to get the nod this week. Spare a thought for the man they call SPS from Christchurch and Brandan Parfitt of Seoul who did a fantastic job for their reserves teams, let's hope their senior coaches took notice.
Team of the Week
We're finally back! ...or at least the beloved TotW summaries are! And you know what? There's big news guys, I mean real big. I'm talking 197cm and 105kg big. Of course, I can only be talking about the one and only Shane Mumford being taking his rightful place on the TotW ruck throne! Oh and did I mention his amazing Cairo teammate Taylor Adams also features this week? Yes, that happened. In addition, a few Dubliners also did okay, including Rory Sloane who captains this week's side while Sam Docherty was unfortunate enough to suffer a loss despite a great performance but also incredibly fortunate some other coaches in the league left some even better performing individuals languishing in their reserves sides.
D: Leigh Montagna [vc] (Christchurch), Taylor Adams (Cairo), Alex Rance (Dublin), Sam Docherty (Moscow)
M: Rory Sloane [c] (Dublin), Marc Murphy (New Delhi), Dustin Martin (Dublin), David Mundy (New York)
R: Shane Mumford (Cairo)
F: Nick Riewoldt (Mexico City), Jack Martin (New Delhi), Luke Dahlhaus (Tokyo), Jack Watts (Rio)
I: Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul), Marcus Bontempelli (Pacific)
Who were the better performing defenders, Nige?
Gawn, Grundy and Mummy. Let's keep going for 17 different ruck nominees!
Quote from: Torpedo10 on April 10, 2017, 09:54:21 PM
Who were the better performing defenders, Nige?
Aaron Mullett and Jayden Hunt, the former wasn't even named as an emergency!

Only got the nomination last week because
Petrevski-Seton's 116 was for the Weta. Not impressive. As for this week, McGrath was very impressive and must be a gun to match the other guy.

SPS couldn't even crack the seniors? Shows how much you rate him. :P
Plus Hopper has fwd status. SPS will need to average 5-10 points higher than him just to break even. Not impressive.
Round 4
Rising Star
It's true, Cairo young gun Andrew McGrath was just one of the reasons the Sands had a phenomenal week chipping in with 97 and just because someone didn't want to let ol' Pidge have his moment alone, future Christchurch perma-captain Brayden Fiorini also accomplished the same feat.
Team of the Week
We can't go on without mentioning first mention the good looking roosters that found themselves as coach(es) of the week, but now on to the team itself! Three of their finest made the team, two defensive stalwarts - Roberton and McGovern, and the best ruck in the competition Shane Mumford keeps his spot on the throne. In other news, forwards were very good this week, especially a duo from Seoul by the name of TJ Lynch and Brandon Matera while Luke Hodge and Taylor Walker were shining lights for their teams who have thus far have indifferent years.
D: Jeremy Howe (New Delhi), Dylan Roberton (Cairo), Luke Hodge (PNL), Jeremy McGovern (Cairo)
M: Tom Rockliff [c] (Mexico City), Lachie Neale (Beijing), Daniel Rich (New Delhi), Shaun Grigg (Rio)
R: Shane Mumford (Cairo)

Round 5
Rising Star
Moscow will be pretty rapt that they've got a real promising youngster in Ryan Burton who this week gathered a nomination for the rising star with a respectable 89. More of that from him and they might actually be challenging soon enough.
Team of the Week
D: Rory Laird (Pacific), Marcus Adams (Buenos Aires), Dylan Roberton (Cairo), Zach Tuohy (Buenos Aires)
M: Joel Selwood [c] (New York), Adam Treloar [vc] (Dublin), Rory Sloane (Dublin), Robbie Gray (New Delhi)

Eric Hipwood also from Moscow was runner-up for the nomination, so some promising signs for the Spetsnaz!
Forgot the summary, but the most important thing to note is a certain coach who shall not be named rested the top scoring defender this week.

Round 6
Rising Star
It's another triumph for Moscow who have their second nominee in a row. This week it is Tim Taranto with a quality 86 that managed to beat out the rest of promising youngsters around the world.
Team of the Week
Where do we even start?! The man they call GAJ does what only he can while Charlie Dixon just got himself out of next week's training session and a trip to the local brewery. Dylan Roberton continues to prove he's arguably the best defender in the world and Callum Sinclair turned up out of nowhere to show that he's no slouch at rucking. Shoutout to Ben McEvoy who helped keep up the trend of two rucks making the team of the week as well.

Round 7
Rising Star
Sammo! Another hyphenated up-and-comer has got a nomination. His name is Sam Petrevski-Seton and he smashed out a massive 134. That's a well-deserved and hard-earned honour if I've seen one.

Not sure! A rare occurrence either way
Round 8
Rising Star
Tokyo simply haven't had a lot to smile about this season, but they have just scored their second rising star nomination for the season as Tom Phillips put up a very respectable 86 to join teammate Sam Powell-Pepper as contenders for the major prize.

Sorry Walters... but at the same time, stop teasing me with great reserves scores and crap senior ones.
And I would have never thought PNL would top score in a round this year... unbelievable.

Rising Star for Round 10 will be announced after Round 9 is finished.
Round 9
Rising Star
In a year where there a very few highlights for them, Buenos Aires will be happy that Jarrod Berry produced a 75 to earn himself a nomination and bring some cheer to the Dillos.

Round 10
Rising Star
It's no secret that PNL are in a transition period for the club, and as a result, one of the bright young stars of their future getting a chance to shine is Matthew Kennedy who put his hand up with a 84 which is pretty respectable.
Team of the Week
D: Shaun Burgoyne (Berlin), Bachar Houli (New Delhi), Jeremy McGovern (Cairo), Sam Docherty (Moscow)
M: Rory Sloane [c] (Dublin), Patrick Dangerfield [vc] (Seoul), Brandon Ellis (Beijing), Adam Treloar (Dublin)

Kreuz > Goldy.
Gun no doubt, but got to see if he can survive the season.
the story of Kreuz is every time he start too live up to being a number 1 pick he gets injured. I really hope thats not the case this time he is only 28 so he could string some great years together.
pretty happy with Goldy though, chugging along with a 5 round average of 109.
Kreuz with a very nice 115. he has a very very tough draw coming up though

Geez not sure the 183cm Sloane would be the greatest test for Kreuz. But you're right he hasn't really come up against anyone decent yet, his best score for the year was only against that scrub Goldstein.

I always interchange Sloane and Jacobs not sure why.
Sloane can grab all the hitouts regardless, Sloane is a jet id back him in to get a few hit outs somehow.

Well he just obliterated the fancied All-Australian ruckman.
He's a monster.
Jack Silvagni would have been nominated if he was named in the seniors in a normal week over the EurAsia/Alliance round, FWIW
Round 11
Rising Star
This might just be the most remarkable result yet. Moscow's Wayne Milera adds to their growing list of nominees in spectacular fashion. He only dished up 51 but it was enough as was the only youngster eligible this week with the rest of his peers either languishing in the reserves or previously nominated!

Round 12
Rising Star
Seoul are just having a really good year, they're even managing to get rising star nominations in the form of Charlie Curnow who contributed well with a 92 to get his name thrown into the mix for the grand prize.
Team of the Week

I get my data from the big boss, so you'll have to ask Purps.
I can tell you that there were 13 others that could have got the nomination in R11 though had they played in the seniors. :o
At least I'm not guilty of robbing Witherden of his nomination.
He'll get it next week though.

3rd best this week. Back to back 95+ games. When a player scores average and then good it's called a breakout, and that's what's happening here. The new Connor Blakely.
One of the two others better than him this week was Big Darcy. Might not get a nom but he's the most valuable teenager in the competition right now.

Dime a dozen midfielder who scored 80 this week? He's alright but ruckmen are worth 20 more than their average, and Big Darcy will average 100 in no time.

If Oliver type midfielders are a dime a dozen why do you only have 1 guy close to his average.
Also add +20 to Darcy and he is still almost 20 between Oliver.
Round 13
Rising Star
This week's nominee was the equal top scoring rookie for the round, but his rival played reserves and so Cape Town's Ben Ainsworth and his very good score of 99 gets rewarded.

Sean Darcy for the rising star nomination soon and in the conversation for the award come seasons end.
Def and fwds are worth pretty much the same. 10 points more than mids. An 80 ave fwd or def should be worth a 90 ave mid, at least.
Rucks worth the most, I'd say another 10 points more than fwds or defs.
2nd and 3rd year players should be better than the fresh meat so the bold guys (except mature age Ryan) should get extra credit.

Kreuzer has been a beast, 7 week average of 130 is insane thats Goldy 2015 level.
odds are he will slow down at some point given this is his 10th season and he has never averaged over 100.
guy has talent just never been able to string it together, 90 103 in his last 2 games must be a little concerning.

To me it looks like he's always had the scoring ability but just hasn't had the continuity. Last year was the most games he's played in a season and that has set him up for a career best year. He's a former #1 draft pick that is only now reaching his potential and this is just the start.

he always has these purple patches then gets injured or something happens.
2013 the best example Pumped out a 124 over 6 rounds then went 72 (inj) came back for 68 82. Thats after starting the season 113 109 then getting injured.
then injured 2014
missed first half of 2015.
he has the talent no doubt.
The body is the worry.
after playing 42 of his first 44 games he then went on to only play 75 of the next 132. That would hold anyone back.
if his body holds up then he will be a gun, big if though.
As i have said before he isnt young either. He is only 11 months younger then Goldy.

This one was a matter of when not if, so it's good to see that Alex Witherden takes out this week's honour with a 109 which also happened to be the best rookie score of the week!
Team of the Week
D: Shannon Hurn [c] (New York), Michael Hurley (Pacific), Taylor Adams (Cairo), Shane Savage (Toronto)
M: Gary Ablett [vc] (Rio), Brad Ebert (Rio), Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul), Ben Cunnington (Mexico City)
R: Matthew Kreuzer (Toronto)/Shane Mumford (Cairo)
F: Chad Wingard (PNL),
I: Tom Mitchell (Pacific), Sam Gray (London)
Coach: RaisyDaisy and AaronKirk (New York)
Not sure we've ever had a situation where two rucks got the same score but the only spot left to fill was the actual ruck spot, so I figured both deserved to have their name listed.
Looks like there are a couple of forward spots :P
Delet this. :P

Sure thing ;)
Good to see Kreuz is slowing down.
Pops Kelly for Witho will go down as one of the greatest trades in WXV history.
