6 – Josh Cleeland
Club: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs; 2017 TOTW selections: 8.

12 tries, 10 try assists, 13 line-breaks, 57 tackle-breaks.
Josh Cleeland has been a shining light for the on-fire Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in season 2017; whenever he has the ball in hand, he is a massive threat to any opposition defensive unit. He’s formed a wonderful halves combination with Lachlan Lewis that has seen the Bulldogs cement a top four position after a slow start to the year, and is the most dangerous player to keep your eye on in the finals. Success seems to follow Cleeland, who steered Ipswich to a premiership two years ago, and took the Newtown Jets to a preliminary final last year where he was also named as five-eighth of the year. No doubt Josh Cleeland is incredibly close to an NRL debut.

12 – Rhyse Martin
Club: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs; 2017 TOTW selections: 9.

Seven tries, 53 goals, 122 metres per game, 30 tackles per game.
The move to Belmore has proven extremely successful for Martin, who has been one of the Bulldogs’ finest additions in 2017. After two strong seasons at the Townsville Blackhawks, Martin has adapted to life under Des Hasler and Steve Georgallis with a regular defensive output, exceptional try-scoring ability and solid form with the boot, featuring in the Team of the Week more than any other player alongside Hopoate. Working hard alongside fellow PNG International Rod Griffin, Martin is key to Canterbury-Bankstown’s success in September.

17 – Rod Griffin
Club: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs; 2017 TOTW selections: 8.

132 metres per game, 30.9 tackles per game, 45 tackle-breaks.
The most experienced player in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW team of the year, Rod Griffin has had an outstanding maiden season for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. He gets through a mountain of work on a weekly basis and adds plenty of experience to a young Bulldogs side thanks to his 10 international appearances for Papua New Guinea. The Bulldogs' improvement this season is no coincidence - all three of the club's representatives in the Team of the Year joined in 2017.

And not one got a run in first grade. Go figure
Because the coach is apparently a rocket scientist! However his rockets always crash or explode on take-off.

Great selections!

Cleeland obviously the standout player in ISP this season. He and Rhys Martin must be in the plans for first grade next season! Would fix a lot of the general kicking (Cleeland) and goal kicking (Martin) issues we have, at the very least!
