Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3115559, member: 8423"] 1. Isaako - Another good game in attack but kicking radar was off. More importantly, he was caught out of position a number of times in defense, particularly at one almost crucial moment late in the game. 6 2. Oates - Was quiet but not really his fault when he is getting no ball whatsoever in attacking plays. Went looking for work and made some big runs with no noticeable errors. Will be out a week or three after a painful looking inure. 7 3. Staggs - Epic game, he can play anywhere and his ability to bounce off and through defenders and come out quicker and balanced the other side is phenomenal. He is Berrigan v2.0 as you can put him anywhere and he’ll smash it. 10 4. Boyd - He’s doing business job defensively and looks for work in crabbing it up field but why does he never pass it to Oates? 6 5. Arthars - Looked good in attack but was caught out rushing up or misreading in defense a number of times allowing the Rabbits space. Lucky he is quick enough to make up for some bad play reads. 6 6. Milford - I thought he did really well all things considered. Looked electric early and then tried to take over when Croft went off. He isn’t an organising half as the last few seasons have shown but did the role mostly well. 8 7. Croft - Hard to score. He looked good again but night ended prematurely with he shoulder injury and likely will be out a few weeks. 3 8. Flegler - This was a great game. He did everything well. But hard, ran hard and has amazing footwork. He actually reminds me of Steve Price. Excellent game. 9 9. Turpin - The team looks so much better with him at hooker. They look slick, they look organised and they look intimidating. That penalised tackle was pretty soft but he needs to build up to playing 80 ASAP as this team can’t afford the Macca minutes. 7 10. Haas - What else can be said? We are privileged to be watching the future greatest prop of all time in the early stages of his career. He is the complete player and then some but still so young. 9 11. Fifita - Fairly quiet in Attack but lethal in defense in this game. He was hammering everything that came his way and even in attack, he was really good, it’s just we’re so used to seeing highlight reel stuff from him every game. 7 12. Hopoate - He surprises us all I think. He made some poor decisions and one or two led to tries but I want to give a shout out to the quick pass for Stagg’s third. That showed real skill and awareness. Impressive for his second game in FG. 7 13. Carrigan - Born leader. What an outstanding game. This was Arrow-like at his best it was that good. He ran hard, cleaned up everything and smashed everything in his vicinity. First one on kick chases too. He has arrived. 9.5 14. Farnworth - How exciting is this kid! He is amazing under the high ball, is athletic and quick and smart. That flick for Staggs’ third was beautiful. He has a long career ahead of him. 7 15. Macca - Total mixed bag from him. Broke momentum for Souths late first half comeback and just looked in slow motion compared to the rest of the team. He has no place in this side at full strength. He got hooked but then came back and pulled out a couple of crucial last ditch tackles that were excellent. 5 16. Kennedy - Mixed bag from him as well. I actually feel sorry for him and not because he finished the game looking like a comic book super villain but because he is quite a serviceable bench prop. He is actually better than average but given how freakishly good Haas, Flegs and Carrigan were, he just looks sub-par. He isn’t though and aside from the dumb penalties, he ran well and hit hard, good bench game. 6 17. Bullemor - Did he okay? I think he got like one set and was off. Hard to judge. 3 [/QUOTE]
