Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2686647, member: 8423"] 1. Darius Boyd - Thought he was out of position at times live in defense but was there when it mattered most and covered well with the return of his speed. Good signs. 8 2. Lachlan Maranta - Clinical finishing, super safe under the high ball and a brilliant offload in our amazing try in the first half. He just keeps getting better and better. Looks super fit too. 8 3. Jack Reed - I don't give perfect tens lightly but Jack Reed was brilliant yesterday. He was dangerous every time we had the ball (which wasn't often) and completely shut down Chambers. Given Chambers was used a lot, that is no small achievement. 9.5 4. Jordan Kahu - He has so much of Hodges about him, even being sticky-taped together. Pulled off a number of key plays and slotted a difficult conversion in windy conditions when it mattered. We have our Hodges replacement. 8 5. Daniel Vidot - He looked very good for us in his limited time on the field but obviously can't really score that highly as a result. 5 6. Anthony Milford - Two kicks out on the full but then a sublime grubber for Oates to score the match winner. He looked super elusive and dangerous in parts as well. He more than held his own in defense too. 7.5 7. Ben Hunt - I actually thought his kicking game was mostly pretty good except for one or two big moments where he kicked straight to Munster. Unfortunately, as the key play maker, that is where you earn the big bucks. 7 8. Josh McGuire - Did he have a break? I'm sure he did but every time we needed a run, he was there. Every time we needed a tackle, he was there. I'm doing it, I'm giving a ten. 10 9. Andrew McCullough - The guy tackled everything that moved, stunted a little in attack but more than forgiveable for the mountain of work he got through in defense which his team needed. 9 10. Adam Blair - I wanted him gone but he is starting to grow on me. He does the dirty stuff that doesn't get noticed, thankfully by the refs too. He did a late spear tackle on one of the kickers that probably wasn't shown on tv thankfully. I actually rated his game yesterday. 8 11. Alex Glenn - He is having a great season, he did so much work for us yesterday and probably won't get the credit he deserved. He runs with energy and bends the line every time. He also made a lot of big tackles. 9 12. Matt Gillett - I think he has finally awoken after his origin try. He was phenomenal yesterday and just kept popping up when needed. Great game even if not backing up. 9 13. Sam Thaiday - We could have used that performance in origin. He made some stinging tackles in defense and ran with real purpose. 8.5 14. Matt Parcell - I really rated his game yesterday. I also rate Kikorima. That clutch tackle and run he made where he unfortunately didn't offload, sublime stuff in key moments. Well done!! 8 15. Mitchell Dodds - I have never been a fan of Doddgy and still don't know if he belongs in our best 17 but for a tackling machine, it was his runs and willingness to not go down easy that really impressed me. I haven't seen that before. 8 16. Jarrod Wallace - He started with a bang and made some great runs plus tackles. He seemed to disappear a bit as the game wore on but good to see some of that early season form returning. 7.5 17. Corey Oates - I have left him to last because this kid is such a gun already. His runs out of end were phenomenal. His positioning on the Milford kick and anticipation plus speed were brilliant. His defense was rock solid and he stopped some big guys in their tracks. He should be playing Origin III. 9.5 [/QUOTE]
