A dominant Storm quartet, a trio of Eels and plenty of internationals gearing up for the upcoming Representative Round headline NRL.com's Team of the Week for Round 9.

Hastings certainly made Mitch Pearce's NRL return easier with the young playmaker starring in the Roosters' 38-0 win over the Knights.
7. Corey Norman (c) (Eels)
In the face of adversity – with usual halves partner Keiran Foran unavailable – Norman stood tall for the Eels when they needed him most.
