In a remarkable display of skill and strength, Addin Fonua-Blake of the NZ Warriors has emerged as the top points-scoring player in this week's NRL VB Hard Earned Team of the Week.
Fonua-Blake's outstanding performance in the team's 30-22 victory over the Wests Tigers earned him a staggering 110 points, a remarkable 17 points ahead of his closest competitor.
This has earned him the well-deserved title of the VB Hard Earned hero of the week.
Fonua-Blake's consistent excellence throughout the season has secured him a spot in the team alongside his teammate and captain, Tohu Harris, who also had an impressive performance this week, earning 86 points.
Fonua-Blake showcased his immense stamina by playing for 59 minutes before returning for an additional 11 minutes and 40 seconds, during which he scored the team's match-sealing try in the 76th minute.
This try marked his seventh for the season, the highest among front rowers.
His overall contribution to the match included an impressive 270 meters gained from 27 runs, with 80 post-contact meters, six tackle breaks, and 27 successful tackles.
Harris, on the other hand, played the full 80 minutes and doubled his try tally after scoring his first try the previous week.
He accumulated a total of 177 meters from 22 runs and made 33 tackles, further solidifying his place in the team.
