2023 ANZ Premiership: Team of the Week – Round 8
THERE is a Mystical, yet Starry and Tactical tone to the ANZ Premiership Team of the Week, with each side dominating our hypothetical lineup after Round 8.
Only three teams contributed players to this week’s squad, with the Mystics and Stars leading the way with four players each.
Another common theme amongst this week’s team is a double-up of stellar performances. Many of the Mystics and Stars players who made the cut got in off the back of two stellar performances over the weekend, a higher number than would normally make it into the team.
