It wasn't a breath-taking try or crunching tackle that was chosen as the nib Inspiring Moment of the Week in Round 8.
Instead, the honour went to Mitch Barnett, who is slowly building a reputation as a seriously tough player.
Going down with what looked like a very painful ankle injury early in the second half, Barnett struggled to walk it off.
Many other players would have left the field of play, but Barnett lasted another ten minutes despite being in obvious pain.
He managed several tackles, and also placed an offload that almost set Nathan Ross up for a try.
