1 Dylan Edwards (Gold Coast)
The busy fullback was a constant menance for his team as the Crusade inflicted a miserable defeat on Adelaide, outshining his opposite number and high profile close season recruit AJ Brimson.
2 David Nofoaluma (Sydney)
Despite a typically depressing start to the year for the Oilers faithful, Nofoaluma did his best to spark his team-mates into life with a series of strong carries and a try.
3 Kotoni Staggs (Merseyside)
The Tongan tearaway was red-hot as the Dockers dismantled an abject Hull outfit in the Battle of England, crossing the whitewash twice and collecting 3 POMs in the process.
4 Jesse Ramien (Auckland)
The Orcas were out of sorts but managed to scrape a win in their opener, largely thanks to the efforts of new addition Ramien who was heavily involved for Townsend's troops.
5 Kyle Feldt (Perth)
Experienced winger Feldt caught the eye for the Scorchers with the decisive score in their 14-12 victory against Sydney, adding three goals for good measure.
6 Gareth Widdop (Brisbane)
The Englishman finished with 20 points from a try and eight goals as he steered the new-look Rampage to a hugely impressive 40-18 victory over the Cowboys in Darwin.
7 Mitchell Moses (Glasgow)
All the talk post-match was about his missed conversion that would have given his team a point, however before then Moses had led the Reapers around the park brilliantly and showed flashes of an effective partnership with Mitchell Pearce.
8 Junior Paulo (Gold Coast)
The big fella was in barnstorming mood in the Crusade's demolition of Adelaide as he crashed over for a try to cap a man of the match performance.
9 Josh Hodgson (Perth)
The Pommy craftsman steered his side around the park in expert fashion, showing a deft touch with the boot as Perth defeated the Oilers to make a winning start to the campaign.
10 Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (Glasgow)
JWH rolled back the years in his native land with a dominant display in Glasgow's agonising loss to the Orcas.
11 Matt Prior (Brisbane)
He might be the wrong side of 30 thesedays, but Prior offered plenty of punch off the bench for Brisbane in their big win over Darwin.
12 Josh Aloiai (Glasgow)
The Kiwi was a key man for the Reapers in their narrow defeat in his homeland, working tirelessly in defence to keep his side in the game until the death.
13 Jake Trbojevic (Merseyside)
As tenacious as ever, the Dockers captain showed his team how to do it with five line breaks and a try assist to put down a huge marker for the season.
