Each week of the NRL season, NSWRL.com.au selects the round's best performing New South Welshmen. These are based on the opinions of the writers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the NSWRL or the selection process for the Brydens Lawyers NSW Blues.
Captaincy is awarded based on that week's on-field performance and is not based on club captaincy or leadership qualities.
