Melbourne Storm
1. BILLY SLATER - Scored a try but looked to be hampered by his knee problem. Not as assured as we've come to expect under the high ball, but much better in the second half. 6
2. SISA WAQA - Very solid in defence, made two vital plays to deny Canterbury certain tries. 7
3. DANE NIELSEN - Attacked well when given the chance and did nothing wrong in defence. 6.5
4. WILL CHAMBERS - Came out on top in the battle with Josh Morris, a great way to end a season that contained a cancer scare. 7
5. JUSTIN O'NEILL - Showed great athleticism to haul in a Cooper Cronk kick for his side's third try just before halftime. 7
6. GARETH WIDDOP - Set up the first try and made a brilliant tackle on Sam Perrett that led to his side's second. First Englishman in 10 years to win a premiership. 7.5
7. COOPER CRONK - A magnificent game from the Queensland and Test halfback. Had a hand in all three first-half tries and set up O'Neill with a magnificent kick on the run. 8.5
8. JESSE BROMWICH - The young prop more than held his own against the Bulldogs vaunted pack. A premiership winner at 23. 7.5
9. CAMERON SMITH - Made a key play to hold up Michael Ennis under the posts to prevent a certain try. Struggled with the boot in missing five goals, but otherwise outstanding as always. 8
10. BRYAN NORRIE - A huge game from the veteran prop, whose career looked over after he was released by Cronulla two years ago. Clocked up over 150 metres. 8
15. KEVIN PROCTOR - The all-action Kiwi did his job well and adds a premiership ring to the Toyota Cup title he won in 2009. 7
12. RYAN HOFFMAN - A great season from the former NSW back-rower was capped off with the first try of the game. 7
13. TODD LOWRIE - Another one of the Storm's unheralded heroes signs off in his final game for the club with a premiership. 6.5
Bench:
14. RYAN HINCHCLIFFE - Did a decent job off the bench, little chance to shine in attack, but worked hard when introduced in defence. 6
11. SIKA MANU - Wasn't on the field for long, but made a solid impact with his powerful runs. 6.5
16. JAIMAN LOWE - Ends a solid rather than spectacular career with a premiership win. 6
17. RICHIE FA'AOSO - Spent much of the match sitting but earned a premiership ring out of his mid-year move. 6

Canterbury Bankstown
1. BEN BARBA - The best player all season but suffered from stage fright in the biggest game. Was fairly well contained but always had you on the edge of your seat. 7
2. SAM PERRETT - Did well to score Canterbury's only try and made good metres out of dummy half. Hampered by lack of opportunity. 6.5
3. JOSH MORRIS - Looked the most likely attacking option all game but didn't have enough support. 7.5
4. KRISNAN INU - Put a big shot on Cooper Cronk early and kicked for Perrett's try, but didn't have usual spark. 6.5
5. JONATHAN WRIGHT - An ugly night, spilled a few kicks putting his team under serious pressure. 5
6. JOSH REYNOLDS - Tried hard in attack and often willed his team forward, but was targeted big time in defence, missing seven tackles. 6.5
7. KRIS KEATING - Looked impressive when running the ball but found the chest of Billy Slater far too much with his kicking game. 6
8. AIDEN TOLMAN - Work rate was down on his usually high levels and gave away a silly penalty in the first half. 6.5
9. MICHAEL ENNIS - Made a game-high 48 tackles, went close to scoring and spent every spare moment in the referees' ears. But couldn't get his team home. 7.5
10. SAM KASIANO - Not the best performance from the prop of the year. Appeared to struggle with the pace of the game and was outplayed by Bryan Norrie. 5.5
11. FRANK PRITCHARD - Canterbury's strike weapon in the pack didn't break a single tackle all match. Even his decoy runs weren't working. 6.
12. JOSH JACKSON - Has had an outstanding rookie season and got through a mountain of work again, but missed five tackles. 6.5
13. GREG EASTWOOD - Made a season-high 33 tackles which sapped him of energy, rendering him virtually anonymous in attack. 6
14. JAMES GRAHAM - Had a huge game off the bench and was the Dogs' best forward but was lucky to stay on the field after his Mike Tyson-eqsue bite of Slater's ear. 7
15. DALE FINUCANE - Not sighted until the final 15 minutes and didn't do a great deal after that. 5
16. COREY PAYNE - As with Finucane, didn't get much gametime and had absolutely no impact. 5
17. DAVID STAGG - Most significant impact on the game was grabbing Slater around the neck, sparking the big brawl in the first half. Now has to decide on retirement plans. 6.
