1. Boyd - Once again, started off strong hitting it up with plenty of energy, then goes MIA 20 minutes in after he's gassed in record time. He either has to take a massive pay cut or wrap it up. 4
2. Oates - Had a huge game with kick returns and an easy try served up by Staggs. Certain members of our backline and spine could learn a thing or two from his work ethic. 7
3. Opa - Nothing to say really. Knocked out two minutes in which invites Staggs into the fray to take his spot in the side going forward. Opa is gonna need to churn out something special to be seen again this year outside of injury coverage. Unrated
4. Roberts - Got toweled up in the 1st half by Mitchell but as soon as Wayne got into his ear, he came out in the 2nd and played his way into the Blues side (sadly). Could well have scored the try of the year with that pearler. 8
5. Isaako - No doubt his best game so far in 1st grade. Still suspect as **** in defence but supported Roberts well for 1 try then scores with a brilliant individual effort to win the game which made Cronk look stupid. 7
6. Milf - Is starting to look like a game manager more and more every week which is great to see. Carries Nikorima on top of that and still shows glimpses of his individual brilliance. Should be on the bench for Origin but probably won't be. 8
7. Nikorima - The invisible man, both in attack and especially in defence. Bennett should ban him from kicking it. With all of the young guys coming through now he'll struggle to even make the bench. 3
8. Lodge - Is delivering consistency every week which is about all we need from him. He's basically Wallace but better. 7
9. Macca - Played his way into Origin? Maybe. He was his typical defensive best but he still royally sucks in attack. 6
10. Thaiday - Give it up Sam. Please. You're done mate. Get a job with the Footy Show and be paid to act stupid OFF field. 2
11. TPJ - What can be said really. A revelation of the highest order. Monstered the Rorters small men all night and never stopped. The penalty and sin binning at the end was stupid but who cares, it changed nothing. 9
12. Su'a - Pretty error prone but you can put that down to being green still. He cleans that up and his skill ceiling is pretty high. Between him and TPJ in the 11 and 12 (with Gillett waiting in the wings), Glenn's time as a Bronco is done folks. 7
13. Offa - Good, bad, good, bad and he just had his good again. Considering the amount of games he has played now, he seriously needs to get that consistency sorted, especially with so many young guys up his ass now. 6
14. Taga - Was going pretty well I thought but disappears after a few hitups which I can only put down to Bennett hooking him. Something weird going on there when you have an experienced prop like that who can barely find minutes with the injury list we are carrying at the moment, especially so with washed up scrubs like Thaiday and Sims still getting a run. 5
15. Sims - When getting knocked out by a flying headbutt is the highlight of your night, you know something is not working. I'm not sure what we expected from getting a player that Newcastle offloaded. Should follow Thaifood out the door. 4
16. Mago - I can't even remember him being out there, so hardly an inspiring debut like the next guy. Didn't make any major mistakes though so he has that going for him. 4
17. Staggs - There's one for the family memorabilia. Pretty much exactly how you'd want your debut in 1st grade to go. Solid in defence, AND net yourself a try and try assist in attack. He's earned himself a legit shot imo. He's done more in 80 minutes than Opacic has in multiple games. 8
