The lads at warriors.kiwi are chuffed to report that three Warriors have cracked the NRL Team of the Week.
The recent round was chock-full of stirring performances, with some clubs finally breaking their winless streaks.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys' spine held firm, making them the only unbeaten team in the NRL.
Let's have a squiz at the standout players from Round 3 of the 2024 Telstra Premiership.
First up, 'Teddy' from the Roosters proved once again that he's one of the best big-game players around.
He gave the Rabbitohs' defence a proper talking to with his fancy footwork and slick passing, racking up a whopping 170 metres from his 23 runs.
Breaking eight tackles and setting up two line breaks, he sent a clear message under the Friday night lights.
Then we had a veteran Kiwi player making a crucial play when the game was in the balance.
Although he didn't manage a try this time, he made sure he was right in the thick of it with some strong carries and six tackle breaks.
The Bulldogs were led by a young gun full of energy and enthusiasm, ending their seven-month losing streak.
The Titans had no answer for this 22-year-old powerhouse, who bulldozed through 11 tackles and clocked an impressive 122 metres from his 16 runs.
His solid defence shut down the Gold Coast's attempts at flashy backline plays.
Finally, we saw Olam from the Wests Tigers show his best form after a rough 2023 season.
He caused all sorts of headaches for the Sharks on his 16 carries, resulting in a hefty 177 run metres.
Scoring a try late in the first half thanks to some slick moves from Api Koroisau, Olam made sure his debut in the Tigers' colors was one to remember.
