1. Boyd - Wasn't his worst game by any stretch but still, his signature poor attitude was on show as usual. Stop flapping your fucking arms at the refs and start barking orders at the team you're captaining. 6
2. Oates - I thought he had a pretty uneventful first half but his 2nd was one to remember. Scored probably the try of the year and gave the Sharks middle (who are no pushovers) hell with his kick returns. Sign him up for life and do it now. 8
3. Roberts - Pretty quiet night from the Jet. Struggled in defence on the right at times but mostly just Average with a capital A. Probably had his mind on Origin. 5
4. Kahu - Seems to be finding his feet at centre. Lets hope he stays injury free. Quiet in attack but defended his ass off. 6
5. Isaako - Solid with the boot as usual but his defence on the line is still very suspect. Was directly responsible for at least one Shark try because of sloppy tackling. 5
6. Milford - Rocks and Diamonds Milf came to play again. Got sin binned, Dropped the ball numerous times, a horrendous kick out on the full, but then on the flipside made a few runs that had the Sharks defence panicking. He didn't have the excuse of Nikorima playing poorly this time so it's all on him. 6
7. Nikorima - Comfortably his best game of the year, and shock horror it happens when he is relieved of all responsibility when kicking. Made more than one beautiful line break and controlled the players on his outside well. He will still be turfed out at the earliest opportunity but it's a nice feeling not having to shit on him for once. 7
8. Lodge - We should seriously consider fighting for this guy when push comes to shove, and it WILL despite all the shit he copped in the preseason. He is just a solid as **** front rower. Has a decent offload on him when presented with a good chance and is solid as **** defending in the middle. It is a credit to him that his absence was immediately felt when he was subbed off. 7
9. Macca - For an "Origin hooker", god damn is he average. His limp dick dummy half runs are frankly embarrassing to watch and he didn't even seem to be at his defensive best last night either. We heap a lot of shit on our halves for their lacklustre game management, but surely some criticism has to be leveled at the number 9 too. 4
10. Thaiday - Didn't exactly shame himself, but didn't much stand out either. I'm content giving him the benefit of the doubt being beyond the twilight of his career, horrendously out of shape and coming up against the Sharks pack. 5
11. TPJ - He is a STARTING second rower whether Wayne likes it or not. His charge down try was a thing of beauty and up until his injury was monstering the Sharks right side. If Glenn ever starts for us again, the old coach has officially lost it. 8
12. Su'a - Isn't quite reaching the amazing heights of TPJ but still, his quality is self evident. Give him another 50 or so games under his belt and he could pass for a Ben Te'o clone. 7
13. McGuire - I have always admired his mongrel and work ethic despite being small for a forward, but his negatives are starting to outweigh his positives a tad. Gave away at least 2 stupid penalties, one in the first set after conceding points, and died with the ball numerous times on the 4th. He needs to either play much smarter or go back to Prop. 5
14. Mago - He stood out a bit more than usual this time. Solid bench performance in the middle up against tough opposition. 6
15. Joe O - Is really starting to come along in leaps and bounds. He's surely gotta be asking questions of both the starting side and QLD at this point. Very good, especially off the bench. 8
16. Glenn - The fact that both TPJ and Su'a are outplaying him despite being so green in comparison tells you all you need to know, but being an experienced head on the bench seems to be his calling, at least until Haas and Gillett return then he is comfortably dispensable. 6
17. Taga - Had limited minutes but did an amicable job keeping our middle solid. Exactly what we signed him for. I was hoping he'd have a bigger game against his former club but hard to do off the bench. 6
