Rising star sends message to suitors

An injury to Broncos superstar Reece Walsh opened the door for Tristan Sailor to get a shot at wearing the No.1 jersey in first grade.

Last year's grand finalists didn't miss a beat and the son of Wendell got himself a jersey in The Mole's Team of the Week.

Scroll on to see all the star performers to make Mole's team after round four.
