Player Ratings: Eels vs Tigers
Wade McKinnon – 6 (35)
Not quite up there with his recent form, but he didn’t do much wrong.
Brett Anderson – 5 (5)
Made some effective runs out of dummy half, but looked a little out of his depth in defence and the Tigers targeted him
Ashley Graham – 5 (9)
Looked quite dangerous on occasions but some errors spoiled his game
Dean Widders – 5 (58)
Not fast enough to play centre.
Luke Burt – 5 (54)
Some kudos for trying to inject himself into the game, but had few opportunities
Michael Witt – 6 (6)
Started off horribly but grew in confidence as the game went on. Possibly, the only thing all game that would have brough a smile to Eels’ fans faces was Witt stepping through the defence on his way to a try. Will retain his spot and can only grow in confidence.
Chris Thorman – 5 (19)
Tried hard and played fairly. Should have scored a try but dropped it over the line. Failed to really organise the Parramatta attack, though. Has a fantastic long pass but jury is still out.
Michael Vella – 5 (54)
Eight hit-ups is not enough from Parramatta’s most senior forward. Worked hard in defence though.
James Webster – 5
Looked dangerous darting out of dummy half, but didn't do enough to stop Morris regaining his spot next week.
Justin Tsoulos – 4 (30)
Only four hit ups. We’ll give him one point per hitup.
Nathan Hindmarsh – 8
54 tackles and 15 hitups! But what is he doing taking up balls first and second hit-up. Either Hindy is trying to do, too much or the props just weren’t pulling their weight.
Lee Hopkins – 5 (20)
Ran with purpose and defended stoutly, but could have a higher workload.
Daniel Wagon – 6 (69)
Did a mountain of work in defence and provided an effective link to the backline when needed.
Shane Muspratt – 4 (13)
Given a golden opportunity to prove he’s good enough for first grade. He isn’t.
Mal Kaufusi – 3 (3)
Another golden opportunity missed. Two hit-ups. Backed to reggies, Mal.
Craig Stapleton – 6 (71)
Did his job off the bench, yet again.
Jack Afamagasa – 7 (7)
Great debut. Injected himself into the game and made good metres. Has pace, size and should have cemented his spot in the top grade.
What did you think of the player’s performance. Post a comment.
