Very few eligible players selected by their AXV teams this week, but Bangladesh youngster Will Hayward gets the Rd.14 rising star nomination. A number of rookies not selected by their AXV teams with better scores including Hugh McLuggage (UAE), Blake Hardwick (Hong Kong), Charlie Curnow (Hong Kong) all scoring over 100.

An interesting TOTW this week including 7 first times and some real surprise names in there (Drew Petrie, Hugh Greenwood, Sam Menegola). Also somewhat of a surprise that it was both Shaun Burgoyne and Marcus Bontempelli's first selections of the year. The surprises could've continued if Sri Lanka had named Tom Campbell who was the highest scoring ruckman for the week.

What isn't a surprise is Sam Docherty leading the defense again for his 8th selection of the year, whilst Patrick Dangerfield picked up his 5th in the midfield.

Despite having 3 players in the TOTW (the most of any team this week), Kuala Lumpur went down to ladder leaders Bangkok, who's coaches Rids and Nostra picked up their 6th selection as coach.

After being unlucky a few times this season, Hong Kong young gun Charlie Curnow has picked up the Rd.15 rising star nomination with an outstanding game in attack. Although the nomination is much deserved for Curnow, young Bangladesh ruckman Sean Darcy actually outscored him this week with a massive game for the Bears reserves.

An coach of the week this week with iZander picking up the gong after his Gazelles notched up the highest score for the round. The Gazelles were well served by midfield guns Patrick Dangerfield (6th selection) and Tom Mitchell (4th seclection), who were joined in the Rd.15 TOTW by forward Kane Lambert picking up his 1st selection.

Manilla gun Bryce Gibbs picked up his second selection as captain and 3rd overall, whilst Crabs defender Sam Docherty picked up his 9th selection of the year and has been the highest scoring playing defender in 5 out of the last 6 weeks. Having said that there was a defender who out scored him this week, Kuala Lumpur's Ethan Hughes who put together a massive game for the Crocs reserves.

Turkey youngster Matthew Kennedy is the Round 16 rising star nomination. Kennedy was only playing as a late inclusion for Josh Kennedy and made the most of his chance with a polished display in the Gazelles victory.

Back-to-back coach of the week selections for iZander with his Gazelles again top scoring. Once again Gazelle midfield guns Patrick Dangerfield (7th selection) and Tom Mitchell (5th seclection) were selected, whilst this week they were joined in the team by power forward Jon Patton.

Turkey's midfield stars were upstaged by Dayne Zorko for the captain position, whilst Crabs teammate Sam Docherty made it 6 out of the last 7 weeks as the highest scoring playing defender and 10th selection overall .

After some outstanding form in the reserves Alex Witherden demanded selection for Vietnam and continued on his good form to win the Round 17 rising star nomination.

Three in a row for iZander with his Gazelles again top scoring. Also for the third week in a row Gazelle's midfield guns Patrick Dangerfield and Tom Mitchell were selected, with the former being named as Captain.

The streak was almost broken for Sam Docherty this week as he was tied for the 4th highest score in defence for the week. However Jayden Hunt was not named for Taiwan, meaning Docherty picked up his 6th successive selection and 11th overall. If Hunt had made the cut, it would have been 4 first timers in defence this week. Tibet had a strong week, with 3 selections in the TOTW including the two highest scoring forwards, which was unlucky for their Rd.17 opponents :'(

Young ruckman Sean Darcy has won the Round 18 rising star nomination after leading the ruck for Bangladesh in their victory over PNG.

Rico has broken Izander's streak and taken out the coach of the week as his Crocs were the only team to break 2000 this week. This also related to a lower scoring week TOTW selection as no player broke the 200 point barrier this week. Helping Rico earn his nomination was Dayne Beams who after an interrupted season top scored for the round to earn his place as Captain of the TOTW.

A number of unlucky players this week who missed out on TOTW selection due to not being selected by their respective AXV teams. Taylor Garner (Vietnam), Callum Sinclair (Sri Lanka), Liam Picken (Kathmandu) and Shane Biggs all scored well enough to earn a spot in team, but missed selection. It's double disappointing for this group of players as for each of them it would have been their first selection for the season. One player who did make the cut was Sam Mayes in defence who became only Hong Kong's 4th selection for the season. Sam Docherty streak in defence is also over, ending at 6 in a row.

Jayden Hunt replaced Tom Cutler in the Dolphins lineup Rusty as E2 after McGrath replaced Coniglio. Dunno if that makes him eligible or not. :)

Cheers, I'll make that adjustment.

The best was saved for last as Luke Ryan (UAE) smashed out a huge score to not only win the final rising star nomination for 2017, but was also good enough for a spot in the TOTW!

Ryan's performance was part of a great all round effort by the Tigers as they top scored for the week and gave coach Nas his first Coach of the Week selection.

It was a clean sweep for UAE this week as power forward Tom Hawkins was named captain of the TOTW. It was a week for the power forwards as Hawkins was joined by Tiger's teammate Joe Daniher and Laos big men Josh Kennedy and Jarryd Roughead in the forward line.

Hey Rusty, sorry to be a pain but Jordan Murdoch was a late inclusion for Mitch Honeychurch who withdrew with illness. Think that means he ousts Roughead.

I promise I'll get team selection right this week!  :-[

Haha, I actually looked closer this week, after last week, but didn't realise Honeychurch didn't play :-[
