Player Ratings
1. Luke Burt - 3
Unforgivable for a fullback to drop a ball bringing it back from a kick. Was justifiably benched for that horrendous error. Missed goals and defence was ordinary.
2. Wise Kativera - 4
Dropped a ball early. Ran fairly out of dummy half but certainly hasn't cemented his position.
3. Jame Lyon - 4
Was caught out in defence and did nothing in attack. A dissapointing start from Parra's star center.
4. Matt Peterson - 5
Tried hard, was rewarded with a late try but question marks remain about his ability to defend at centre?
5. Eric Grothe - 6
Took the ball up hard, but like almost everyone else in the team was responsible for handling errors.
6. Daniel Wagon - 5
Played a solid lock's game but showed once again he's not a five-eighth
7. Adam Dykes - 7
Was a little rocky early but had a great second half and was the only really dangerous Eel
8. Corey Pearson - 5
Didn't reproduce his trial form and tried to push too many unnecessary passes
9. John Morris - 5
Didn't do a lot wrong, but didn't get the chance to do a great deal right, as Dykes played more dummy half than he did.
10. Mick Vella - 4
Awful defence allowed a Bulldogs trial and his running lacked penetration
11. Nathan Hindmarsh - 6
Was solid in defence, but didn't have many opportunities in attack
12. Nathan Cayless - 6
Made a great covering tackle, but was subsequently sin-binned trying to slow down the play. Solid as always
13. Lee Hopkins - 5
Made a couple of errors and didn't make much of an impact
14. Aaron Canning - 4
Ran hard, but made too many handling errors at crunch times
15. David Vaeliki - 5
Looked better when moved to full back but was another who made unnecessary errors
16. Craig Stapleton - 6
Took the ball up hard and was solid in defence. A good debut in the Blue and Gold and was almost our best forward, despite coming off the bench.
17. Chris Armit - 5
Replaced Peak, didn't get a lot of time, but at least didn't make any errors in the time he had. Backed up from playing in Premier League the night before.
