[QUOTE="Kaz, post: 2454794, member: 1843"] Melbourne Storm [B]1. BILLY SLATER - [/B]Scored a try but looked to be hampered by his knee problem. Not as assured as we've come to expect under the high ball, but much better in the second half. [B]6[/B] [B]2. SISA WAQA - [/B]Very solid in defence, made two vital plays to deny Canterbury certain tries. [B]7[/B] [B]3. DANE NIELSEN -[/B] Attacked well when given the chance and did nothing wrong in defence.[B] 6.5[/B] [B]4. WILL CHAMBERS -[/B] Came out on top in the battle with Josh Morris, a great way to end a season that contained a cancer scare. [B]7[/B] [B]5. JUSTIN O'NEILL -[/B] Showed great athleticism to haul in a Cooper Cronk kick for his side's third try just before halftime. [B]7[/B] [B]6. GARETH WI[/B][B]DDOP - [/B]Set up the first try and made a brilliant tackle on Sam Perrett that led to his side's second. First Englishman in 10 years to win a premiership. [B]7.5 [/B][B]7. COOPER CRONK -[/B] A magnificent game from the Queensland and Test halfback. Had a hand in all three first-half tries and set up O'Neill with a magnificent kick on the run. [B]8.5[/B] [B]8. JESSE BROMWICH -[/B] The young prop more than held his own against the Bulldogs vaunted pack. A premiership winner at 23. [B]7.5[/B] [B]9. CAMERON SMITH -[/B] Made a key play to hold up Michael Ennis under the posts to prevent a certain try. Struggled with the boot in missing five goals, but otherwise outstanding as always. [B]8[/B] [B]10. BRYAN NORRIE - [/B]A huge game from the veteran prop, whose career looked over after he was released by Cronulla two years ago. Clocked up over 150 metres. [B]8[/B] [B]15. KEVIN PROCTOR - [/B]The all-action Kiwi did his job well and adds a premiership ring to the Toyota Cup title he won in 2009. [B]7 [/B][B]12. RYAN HOFFMAN -[/B] A great season from the former NSW back-rower was capped off with the first try of the game. [B]7[/B] [B]13. TODD LOWRIE -[/B] Another one of the Storm's unheralded heroes signs off in his final game for the club with a premiership. [B]6.5[/B] [B]Bench:[/B] [B]14. RYAN HINCHCLIFFE - [/B]Did a decent job off the bench, little chance to shine in attack, but worked hard when introduced in defence. [B]6[/B] [B]11. SIKA MANU -[/B] Wasn't on the field for long, but made a solid impact with his powerful runs. [B]6.5[/B] [B]16. JAIMAN LOWE -[/B] Ends a solid rather than spectacular career with a premiership win. [B]6[/B] [B]17. RICHIE FA'AOSO -[/B] Spent much of the match sitting but earned a premiership ring out of his mid-year move. [B]6[/B] [URL="http://www.foxsports.com.au/league/nrl-premiership/player-ratings-for-nrl-premiers-melbourne-storm-from-grand-final-victory-over-canterbury-bankstown/story-fn2mcuj6-1226484883156"]http://www.foxsports.com.au/league/nrl-premiership/player-ratings-for-nrl-premiers-melbourne-storm-from-grand-final-victory-over-canterbury-bankstown/story-fn2mcuj6-1226484883156 [/URL] Canterbury Bankstown [B]1. BEN BARBA - [/B]The best player all season but suffered from stage fright in the biggest game. Was fairly well contained but always had you on the edge of your seat. [B]7[/B] [B]2. SAM PERRETT -[/B] Did well to score Canterbury's only try and made good metres out of dummy half. Hampered by lack of opportunity. [B]6.5[/B] [B]3. JOSH MORRIS -[/B] Looked the most likely attacking option all game but didn't have enough support. [B]7.5[/B] [B]4. KRISNAN INU [/B]- Put a big shot on Cooper Cronk early and kicked for Perrett's try, but didn't have usual spark. [B]6.5[/B] [B]5. JONATHAN WRIGHT -[/B] An ugly night, spilled a few kicks putting his team under serious pressure. [B]5[/B] [B]6. JOSH REYNOLDS -[/B] Tried hard in attack and often willed his team forward, but was targeted big time in defence, missing seven tackles. [B]6.5[/B] [B]7. KRIS KEATING - [/B]Looked impressive when running the ball but found the chest of Billy Slater far too much with his kicking game. [B]6[/B] [B]8. AIDEN TOLMAN -[/B] Work rate was down on his usually high levels and gave away a silly penalty in the first half. [B]6.5[/B] [B]9. MICHAEL ENNIS - [/B]Made a game-high 48 tackles, went close to scoring and spent every spare moment in the referees' ears. But couldn't get his team home. [B]7.5[/B] [B]10. SAM KASIANO - [/B]Not the best performance from the prop of the year. Appeared to struggle with the pace of the game and was outplayed by Bryan Norrie. [B]5.5[/B] [B]11. FRANK PRITCHARD -[/B] Canterbury's strike weapon in the pack didn't break a single tackle all match. Even his decoy runs weren't working. [B]6.[/B] [B]12. JOSH JACKSON - [/B]Has had an outstanding rookie season and got through a mountain of work again, but missed five tackles. [B]6.5[/B] [B]13. GREG EASTWOOD -[/B] Made a season-high 33 tackles which sapped him of energy, rendering him virtually anonymous in attack. [B]6 [/B] [B]14. JAMES GRAHAM -[/B] Had a huge game off the bench and was the Dogs' best forward but was lucky to stay on the field after his Mike Tyson-eqsue bite of Slater's ear. [B]7[/B] [B]15. DALE FINUCANE -[/B] Not sighted until the final 15 minutes and didn't do a great deal after that. [B]5[/B] [B]16. COREY PAYNE -[/B] As with Finucane, didn't get much gametime and had absolutely no impact. [B]5[/B] [B]17. DAVID STAGG -[/B] Most significant impact on the game was grabbing Slater around the neck, sparking the big brawl in the first half. Now has to decide on retirement plans. [B]6.
