THEY SAID IT: "His strike rate is as good as any in the league - Jamie Maclaren and Jason Cummings are maybe a bit better in terms of ratio - but he's right up there." Western Sydney Wanderers coach Marko Rudan on in-form Brandon Borrello, who scored his sixth goal in nine games in the 4-0 thrashing of Macarthur FC.
MAN OF THE WEEK: It's hard to go past Brisbane Roar's new interim coach Nick Green, who started his tenure with a 2-1 home win over Perth Glory. The Roar started Sunday's match in last position but moved to ninth after playing with panache. So does Green have his sights on taking over full-time at the end of the season after the recent sacking of Warren Moon? "I haven't thought that far to be honest," he said. "I just want to win games. We just want to see how far we can go."
TALKING POINT: The fitness of Melbourne Victory playmaker Jake Brimmer will be a concern for the club after he hobbled off before halftime in the 1-1 draw with Adelaide United. Victory assistant coach Luciano Trani said after the match that the 24-year-old was in "a lot of pain" and "the diagnosis is not good".
