Well if anyone was able to see the posts before they got deleted. This is a thread where Tef and myself will rate players to see who knows anything about Rugby League.
1. Mathew Wright 6/10.
I dont really rate this guy as you might know. And tonight he proved how average of a player he is. Cost us an early try by not taking the ball in goal, got taking into goal a few times as well. And when he is going back for a ball he has a very "inu" presence about him. He is just so casual, but as soon as he grabs the ball he runs it back like K Hunt which is something i really like about his game and the only reason why i gave him a 6. Its obvious he isnt our long term fullback in the coaches eyes, because Ike wouldnt be playing half the games in attack at Fullback if he was.
2. Ike Gordon 6/10
Set up that awesome try for Poms in the first half and made some good tackles as well. He also had some strong runs coming out of his own half. In the second half he was almost no place to be seen, if i wasnt looking for him i could of sworn he wasnt even on the field. Needed to be more involved and needed to back up more while playing offence fullback.
3. Ben Poms 7/10
Scored a try had some great strong runs, had some great hits in defence and was really solid. yeah he made some errors and needs to learn to either TAKE a bomb or just stay the **** away from it and not contest at all.
4. Colin Best 6/10
Not his best (HA! see what i did there) game of the year but not his worse either. Had some good runs and is always there waiting for an offload and his support play is really really good. But he did some stupid things as well and made some stupid errors. had trouble with Konrad but did better then most teams have done vs him.
5. Nathan Stapleton 5/10
Ran the ball like a bitch in the first half and dropped that bomb COLD when he had no pressure at all. Limited chances in attack but started to run the ball back better in the second half. Also did well to hold out Konrad in that last tackle when he went from dummy half.
6. Todd Carney 9/10
His first half was good with all the repeat drop outs he got us and his second half was great. With out him we lose this game, i know he didnt score a try but his Goal kicking was 100% and his run and offload to Smith was a carbon copy of his Origin set up. Plus that 40/20 was just amazing, we have not had a player like this since Presto we are so lucky to have him. My Man of the Match.
7. Jeff Robson 8/10
First half was nothing special, had some good kicks and ran the ball when he needed to and passed when he needed to. Solid defensive game again and something i think he is underrated in. His second half was much of the same as the first half but this time his long kicking game was much better then the first half. Plus he ran onto a nice ball from smith for a try and had a fantastic solo try. if it wasnt for the solo try he would of got a 7 from me.
8. Bryce Gibbs 8/10
Gibbs was Gibbs, when Gallen isnt in this team i think Gibbs steps up more then most people when it comes to the dirty work, he tackles hard and puts his hand up every chance he gets to take a hit up. He has some good strong runs and tackled hard, rate him big time!
9. Issac Degois 7/10
Solid game without being special. Had some good darts out of dummy half, does a lot in setting up set plays but none seem to come off tonight due to other players ****in him up. You can see he loves being back at the shire in sharks colors.
10. Ben Ross 7/10
Strong runs, strong minutes and if he is injured, which he is from what im hearing you couldnt tell tonight. Great game and is making up for all the money he cost us with injures years ago.
11. Jeremy Smith 8/10.
Normal game from Smith, he makes up for the absence of Gallen in so many ways, strong runs best defensive player we have and just gives his all.
12. JB 8and a half/10
My second best player from tonight's game. He is just everywhere and i swear he is one of the best hole runners in the game, from the guy who couldnt put together an off season since 2008 he has been so good for us, and i believe he is alot more valuable to us then Wade Graham is. This guy will rep QLD one day and would of had a better impact in Origin 2 then Dave Taylor did thats for sure.
21. Tyson Frizzel 5/10
Didnt do anything in the game to impress me, and didnt do anything to make me wish we had kept him. He has got size and is mobile but meh. Im not worried that letting him go will bite us on the bum.
Bench.
Taga - 4/10 didnt even notice him, was hardly needed
Tafua - 4/10 Had some good minutes but doesnt put his hand up really. A couple of good runs but that was it.
Morris - 5/10 I dont mind the guy but he still plays way to much of the OLD sharks game. One out passes to the forward and not giving it to the halves. he has done a good job for us, but i wont be sad when we say bye bye to him.
Green - 4/10 Did his job, but again nothing special. He didnt scream out! HEY I DESERVE TO BE IN THIS SIDE I BELONG HERE!
