The Mole's round six Team of the Week: Brandon Smith 'proving his worth' after 'disappointing' 2023

The Roosters overcame a horror injury list to spring an upset against the Knights with two superstars stamping their authority on the team.

Both made The Mole's round six Team of the Week.

Scroll on to see who else stood out from the round's eight games.

The best fullback not playing regular fullback in the NRL. Did a great job filling in for James Tedesco, passing the magic 300 metre running mark.

Scored two tries and set two up in a slick performance on the flank against the injury-hit Rabbitohs on Saturday night. Is he now the best winger in the league?

Great in a losing side, setting up two tries and running for over 200 metres in Melbourne.

Back to his best after a bit of a slow start to the season, scoring two tries and running for 200 metres in the Battle of Brisbane against the Dolphins.

Scored an authentic hat-trick - three straight tries - in the narrow loss to the Storm.

Played at seven but has to get into the team - this tough little competitor made more metres than any Parra player in the win over the Cowboys - not often you can say that about a halfback.

Game 311 was a DCE special, scoring two first-half tries, kicking well and coming up with big effort plays in the draw in Auckland.

Ran for over 300 metres - a remarkable effort for a prop - and constantly bent back the Titans' defensive line.

Superb out of dummyhalf in the upset win over the Knights - proving his worth this season after a disappointing year in 2023.

Kept the Titans in the game against the Raiders with his strong running and brutal hits in defence.

His best game in the NRL, busy in attack and defence and scored the winning try against the Bulldogs.

Scored a determined try and ran for over 160 metres in the upset win over the Tigers in Campbelltown.

Is there a more inspirational forward in the game on form? Led his team in both run metres and tackles in the win over the Dolphins on Friday night.
