For interests sake, here is the cumulative team, which is just from the last 2 rounds. There will still be a bit of mystery for the final round as that week the Round 10 votes will replace the round 5 votes, to keep the number of games per team even.

I'm tallying votes, not appearances in TOTW.

1. C. Orr (REB)
2. J. Uelese (REB)
3. T. Tupou (RED)
4. M. Philip (REB)
5. L. Solokai-Loto (RED)
6. H. Wilson (RED)
7. L. Wright (RED)
8. I. Naisarani (REB)
9. J. Powell (BRU)
10. J. O’Connor (RED)
11. M. Koroibete (REB)
12. M. To'omua (REB)
13. H. Paisami (RED)
14. J. Ramm (WAR)
15. J. Maddocks (WAR)

16. F. Fainga'a (BRU)
17. S. Sio (BRU)
18. H. Johnson-Holmes (WAR)
19. N. Hanigan (WAR)
20. M. Hooper (WAR)
21. J. Gordon (WAR)
22. I. Simone (BRU)
23. J. Petaia (RED)

Fabulous and some real work to do for some. Interesting points at this stage:

x Hooper not the signed and sealed package some believe - yet
x No AAA. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and Orr impressing.
x LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) taking a lock, even with the Red line out debacle, Hanigan being taken seriously
x Highly favoured by many but Tate doesnt yet make the cut
x Centers looking quite different with Paisami and Simone

Predictable JOC (James O'Connor) and To'omua to 10/12.

There may be some anomalies in the way a TOTW works as opposed to selecting a WB 23 - eg you would think Slipper would be a solid chance for at least 17 but may not collect many votes in a TOTW compilation. If you get balance in the back row and locks that are solid in the set piece it isn't necessarily because the system guarantees it. There is no obvious next gen 10 in the group.

Fantastic view on form though. Love it.

Tate been benched for both selection games.

Reg suggested this was show what he can do coming off the bench which is his likely slot if he makes the WB squad. You are right though, it probably slots him next to Slipper as an example of votes not necessarily matching selection criteria.

This is based off two rounds which only includes one game from the Waratahs and Force.

Likewise James Slipper only played one of the two games and that was off the bench.

It's only going to really take shape once the regular rounds have finished and every team is being judged on 4 games. Even then it is a small sample size and any players who miss time with injury will be disadvantaged.

that's probably not a bad idea, both weeks so far it has been 9 though.
That’s worked out very nicely then.

Probably the easiest thing to do is take the first 9 every week (and hope that you don’t get less than 9). Otherwise for the cumulative team you’d have to choose it based on number of times in team of the week rather than volume of votes.

Petaia didn't play 13 though. Flook did (when Paisami came off).

I'd have Stewart at 12 but the rest of the team is good. No standout at 13.
