Message: [QUOTE="Browny, post: 2302558, member: 2004"] NSW's version of player ratings 1. Kurt Gidley Honoured by the national anthem when the words were changed to ''Our Home is Kurt By Sea.'' Thurston stole his possession and pride. 7 2. Jarryd Hayne Some athletes in this glorious world of sport can be relied upon to rise to an occasion. They need a stage and an audience. Enter Hayne - if he's fullback. 7 3. Timana Tahu His football hero is the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian ''All Day'' Peterson, aka ''The Purple Jesus''. Succeeded to a degree in containing Maroons messiah, Inglis. 7 4. Matt Cooper Early fumble wasn't super-duper. Limited involvement because of a bruised hip. Unable to play second half. Might be unable to earn selection for Origin II. 5 5. Brett Morris How good is this bloke? So good you'd have thought he was interchanging with twin brother Josh when he was tired. A shining light in a beaten side. 8 6. Jamie Lyon Pick him in the centres, pick him in the centres, pick him in the centres, pick him in the centres, pick him in centres, pick him in the centres. 6 7. Brett Kimmorley Third-best halfback behind Thurston and NSW trainer Andrew Johns. Selectors will be aware of Mitchell Pearce's imminent return for the Roosters. 6 8. Michael Weyman Has the appearance of a FOG before he even becomes a FOG. Carted the ball forward with grim determination under a suitably grim scoreboard. 6 9. Michael Ennis There is only one thing that can be said about Michael Ennis. He is an Origin player through and through. There can be no greater compliment. 7 10. Josh Perry Last night's swamp acclimatised him perfectly for English Super League stint next year. Unless it made him have second thoughts about playing in swamps. 6 11. Trent Waterhouse Most impressive House since Scott Prince's. The House is the bloke responsible for keeping Paul Gallen in Club Land. He did his damnedest to show why. 7 12. Ben Creagh The most ridiculous pre-Origin barb was about Creagh being soft. No Origin player is soft. But his late kick was a brain snap. 6 13. Anthony Watmough The first miracle was that he kicked during a game of football. The second miracle was that it was in Origin. The third was that Hayne scored off it. 7 Interchange: 14. Jamal Idris Half the population of Queensland was needed to bring him down on his first run. Try on debut. Big enough to make Inglis look like a midget. The future. 7 15. Tom Learoyd-Lahrs Some strong charges. Did a decent enough job. Perhaps the problem for the Blues is everyone just does a decent enough job. 6 16. Luke Lewis Capable of being a starting player in so many positions that they just chuck him into the equivalent of the too-hard basket - the bench. 6 17. Brett White Wasn't expecting to do a whole lot. And he didn't do a whole lot. Which is the lot of the interchange forward. Go out, bash and be bashed, come off again. 5 [/QUOTE]
