Match of the Week:
East Sydney Bulldogs at Arch's Tailgators.
2nd v 1st
East Sydney's unbeaten run was broken, but they still remain in second with the highest overall in the competition. On paper, this is a super side with 9 of their starting 11 for this week, ranked inside the top 10 for their position.
Arch's Tailgators are still undefeated and have being very strong, with the leading player in the NFL - Marshall Faulk leading the way. Arch's team is as good as the Bulldogs with only 3 inside the top 10 for their position, however if Faul can get another 30 PT game, it could be all over for the Bulldogs.
Key Players:
Stephen Davis (East Sydney Bulldogs) - Running Back
Overall PTS - 44, Average - 14.66, RB rank - 2, overall rank - 8
David is in good form coming of a 21 PT game, and will have to try and match Faulk if the Bulldogs are to retain the top spot on the ladder.
Tiki Barber (East Sydney Bulldogs) - Running Back (playing Offensive Flex)
Overall PTS - 43, Average - 14.33, RB Rank - 3, overall rank - 9
Barber was one of only 3 players in the Bulldogs line-up to score over 10 PTS last weekend. Altough, that looks good, it was still he's lowest score of the season, scoring 19, 13, 11 in his 3 games.
Kerry Collins (East Sydney Bulldogs) - Quarterback
Overall PTS - 23, Average - 7.66, QB Rank - 21, overall rank - =61
Altough he has not got the PTS that some of his teammates, he is playing the most crucial position on the field - Quarterback. Normal starting QB Steve Burlein is unavailable for the big game. He now has the pressure on him, and will be playing for the Bulldogs for the first time.
Marshall Faulk (Arch's Tailgators) - Running Back
Overall PTS - 71, Average - 23.66, RB Rank - 1, overall rank - 1
Coming of a record 30 Points, Faulk now has to back up for the biggest game of the year to this stage. He is one of only 3 players in this weeks starting line-up to average over 10 PTS a game.
Mark Brunell (Arch's Tailgators) - Quarter Back
Overall PTS - 39, Average - 13.00, QB Rank - 9, overall rank - =13
Brunell has turned himself into a big name in the NFL of the last couple of seasons, and will be tested this week, because if Faulk has an off-game, then Brunell needs to score a bag-full of PTS.
