Player of the round - Round 21

The biggest thing we picked up from the weekend of A - League fixtures is that the West Sydney Wanderers are genuine contenderes to win the A - League, if not the favourites. They have the best defence in the league highlighted by right back Jerome Polenz. The German born defender has been a unsung hereo for the new boys and after his performance last night it looks like he is finally getting noticed. Being originally a centre back there is no question regarding his ability to defend his goal but in our opinion the highlight of his game is work rate up and down the right flank. Not only did he own Victory young-gun Marco Rojas throughout the match but he performed many goal saving tackles highlighted by the crunch tackle on Rojas outside the box late in the second half. Scoring goals wins you games but defence wins you championships. Jerome Polenz congratulations on winning insidetheboxFC's player of the round for round 21.
