Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2920799, member: 9424"] Gees, you’re a tough marker mate. Just on the ratings above: No way was Gillett better than Lodge. His attack continues to go backwards at an alarming rate and quite honestly, I don’t care how good his defence is - that should be a given. He stifles so many opportunities for Roberts which frustrates me to no end and seemingly did everything he could to not score a try by taking his hands away from the ball at the last second. Solid game, but no way he scores higher than Lodge - even at worst. I get people being annoyed with McGuire taking hitups on 4 and 5 in general. But last night is not an example of that. In such a dour, punctuated game, that is exactly what was needed. Otherwise, I’d be interested to know what you think should have happened on those plays. It’s not like our halves were setting up line breaks for our outside backs at will or kicking to close out the game like seasoned veterans. Added to that, the ball barely got past Gillett / Glenn when we did go wide, so I am not sure what other options we had. In my opinion, he was head and shoulders above Gillett, not half a point like you indicated. Ditto Sims. Much maligned on here by many, including me at times. Frankly, it’s been warranted a lot too. But he was huge off the bench last night and we needed someone to be when we were down to 15 players. Almost cut a few blokes in half with his stinging defence but most impressively, ran hard, broke tackles and did so at such important parts of the game. If Gillett gets a 7, Sims gets at least an 8.5 - he was enormous last night. [/QUOTE]
