The QAFL, who reported in this week's e-footy record that the highlight of Round 4 was the Pumas 3 point win over the Blues, has included three players from the Senior Pumas team in their "Team of the Week". Tiger Monk who has just turned 18 years of age has looked very comfortable in his role since elevated as the Senior Pumas' ruckman.
Monk's Under 18 Coach, Paul Opbroek, described Tiger's performance last weekend as "very solid" and deserving of the recognition. "Tiger who was only promoted a couple of weeks ago from our Under 18's is showing a lot of potential after being asked to step up by our senior coach Brad Pollock. I would like to take this opportunity in congratulating him on making the Under 18's Bushranger's side earlier this year and his effort and commitment to the club so far this year. As his confidence grows, I have no doubt he will earn a lot more accolades this year", Opbroek said.
With 4 goals in the match, the hard-working Mark Thompson was also included in the 'Team of the Week" alongside arguably best-on-ground, Matt 'Chooka' Hendry.
This week, the QAFL editor tips Burleigh to win by 34 points, however, the Pumas will be happy to remind him that they are not one-week wonders after Saturday's Round 5 match. Burleigh who have also won one match this season will be looking to post another win after losing a close tussle with the Gorrillas last round.
