AG Players to Watch Out For
Christian Ostberg
Christian Ostberg has been in impressive form so far this season in the second row for the AGs. He made his first appearance in the starting team last week and his performance was a shining light in the loss at ATL. Ostberg now moves to blindside flanker to make room for Isaac Ross, but the hometown player Ostberg will undoubtedly be looking to put out another great performance in front of friends and family.
Zinzan Elan-Puttick
Austin Huns legend Zinzan Elan-Puttick is a crowd favorite and has been in and out of the starting lineup this season. He scored two tries in the pre-season match against New York, but been held in the stable behind steady production from Julian Dominguez and Conner Mooneyham. This week, Elan-Puttick gets his shot at the starting team and will look to put some tries down for Austin,
Maclean Jones
Jones was the AGs 2021 Most Valuable Player and this week he makes his return to the field. Jones suffered an ACL tear in San Diego in the third to last match of the 2021 season, and after undergoing rehabilitation he's making his return. Jones' return will not only be impactful in his on-field production, but the talismanic leadership and intensity he brings to the forward pack.
