I would say he had a mixed one. Scored a try only he could, saved 3 tries with great 1 on 1 tackles, let in another and made a few mistakes. Everyone made mistakes tho, so i think simple mistakes can be let go.

Overall I think Slater did more good than bad in Game 3. He was far from the worst on the field, and it was far from a bad performance.

If he had scored that try and saved those tackles i dont think i would. However, he wouldnt have made those tackles, he wouldve shoulder charged, and he wouldnt have scored that try. its a moot point

Well it turns out you're all wrong. Hayne is the best fullback in the game.
In fact, he's a better player than Thurston.

Slater played garbage in the 3rd Origin this year but he will be the number 1 for QLD next year and rightfully so.

It's no surprise that you think that though. Slater could've scored 6 tries, made 15 1-on-1 try savers, but knocked on 3 times and you'd be calling for him to be axed.Jeba said:
I love Billy Slater - but he was ordinary in the 3rd game and I'm sure he'd agree himself. Everyone I know who watched that game was in shock with his performance because even a small mistake is not something you expect to see from Slater, let alone a couple of howlers. But as Beads said, he'll be the number 1 next year and rightfully so.
It's one thing to highly rate a player...but it seems some of you rate certain players so highly that you're incapable of seeing a below par performance.

Exactly Coxy - I find it endlessly amusing that if Hunt has a below par game, he can't tackle, can't do this, can't do that etc etc, but if Slater has a below par game, he still 'did more good than bad'. The anti Hunt brigade criticise anyone who dares criticise Slater for making a genuine mistake, or having a below par game, but they also refuse to give Hunt any credit for any good that he does. Seriously annoying.

No-one's saying Slater didn't have a below par performance - he did. But even his below par is on par with the best of the rest.Emma said:

Yes, Slater is so much better than every other fullback in the game. He didn't play 'crap' in Game 3, he scored a try only he could've and saved numerous tries with great tackles that most fullbacks would not have made. Sure, it wasn't anywhere near his best game, but it was still decent.

I'd like to know where Slater was when support play was needed after the numerouse amount of breaks Inglis made down the left side of the field?? Isn't support play a key to a fullbacks role?
