With Nathan Cleary (64 points), Brian To'o (72 points) and Zac Hosking (80 points) all earning selection for their respective positions, it was Edwards' individual efforts against Manly that headlined this week's team as the Penrith number one finished with 13 tackle breaks from his 15 runs to take top spot among all fullbacks.
Broncos tyro Payne Haas brought up the century with his performance in a losing side against Canberra – chalking up 15 carries of eight plus metres while also adding five offloads and 20 tackles without missing – with Eels lock Ryan Matterson (99 points) narrowly behind him for the round's top score.
