Strength - Greg Inglis
The superstar fullback had yet another stellar performance in Round 3 of the NRL. On one occasion in particular Inglis showed his unrivalled strength.
It was a case of master versus apprentice as he received a pass from Reynolds seven minutes into the second half and split through a sliding defence.
As he came up against young up-and-comer James Tedesco on the try line the result was a foregone conclusion.
He barnstormed over the hapless Tedesco, giving him an epic stare down as he went over for the try.
It was yet another example of the unrivalled strength of Inglis.

Mental toughness - Shane Watson
In an epic display of mental toughness and focus, Watson withstood a brutal spell by Pakistani bowler Wahab Riaz.
