Message: [QUOTE="Kaz, post: 2438349, member: 1843"] [B]BLUES[/B] Brett Stewart: His try gave the Blues a sniff but not a major influence. 6.5 Jarryd Hayne: There were glimpses of his best but generally well contained. 7 Josh Morris: Saved a certain try and scored one of Origin's great tries. Outstanding. 8.5 Michael Jennings: Defence sound and looked threatening but never saw enough space. 6.5 Brett Morris: Not the first time these twins couldn't be spilt. Great game. 8.5 Todd Carney: Another mixed bag but proved he can handle the pressure. 6.5 Mitchell Pearce: Was treated like a rag doll and failed to take any real control. 5 Tim Grant: Played tough but not the force he was in game two. 6 Robbie Farah: Flattened early but showed courage and produced two kicks for tries. 8 James Tamou: Never shirked it up the middle and took it to the Maroons. 7.5 Beau Scott: Struggled to get in the game and no real impact on the right edge. 5.5 Greg Bird: Came in for plenty of punishment but never stopped coming. 7 Paul Gallen: Typical whole-hearted effort from the skipper. 7.5 Luke Lewis: Only got on in the second half but gave it everything. 6 Ben Creagh: Massive head cut early and not many minutes as a result. 4 Anthony Watmough: Played injured and his impact suffered as a result. 6 Tony WillIams: Looked to spread-eagle defenders but pretty well contained. 5.5 [B]MAROONS:[/B] Greg Inglis: Ran the ball superbly and monstered the Blues defence at times. 8.5 Darius Boyd: Scored opening try and did well with limited chances. 7 Dane Nielsen: Zero attacking impact but defence was solid. 5 Justin Hodges: Should that have been a try? A crucial decision in the wash-up. 6.5 Brent Tate: Solid but hardly influential. Didn't see much action. 6 Johnathan Thurston: Made up for his sub-par game two with a belter in the decider. 8.5 Cooper Cronk: Steady but hardly brilliant until he broke the Blues hearts with that field goal. 7 Matt Scott: Off-loaded a few times but wasn't as big a force in this series. 6.5 Cameron Smith: Never plays a bad game and was always in the thick of it. 7 Petero Civoniceva: Saved his best of the series for his Origin swan-song. 7.5 Nate Myles: Blues love to hate this bloke but his quality was first class. 8 Sam Thaiday: Not the Thaiday of past series. Generally quiet. 6 Corey Parker: Huge influence, particularly in first half. His off-loads really hurt Blues. 8 Matt Gillett: Was given another small taste but no real impact. 4 Ben Te'o: First Origin game and probably won't be his last. 5 Ben Hannant: Powerhouse running while he was out there. 6.5 David Shillington: Huge impact from the bench. One of Maroons best forwards. 7.5 [URL]http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/origin-iii-player-ratings/story-e6frexv9-1226417137711[/URL] I would have given Pearce either a 2 or 3. Parker should have gotten a 9 [/QUOTE]
